81 Imperial with Fuel Injection

[ShelbyDogg]

Anyone deal with this? '81 318 with factory fuel injection.  Won't start and I'm not going to yank it off and replace it with a carb.  Fixing it for a guy and I have never seen one before.  I need a manual or a website that gives me some troubleshooting tips.  I found a couple sites but was checking if someone here has owned or fixed one of these.

Who the he!! puts a fuel pump INSIDE the air cleaner, besides Chrysler.

never worked on one , but it should be the same as any , you need fuel pressure & sensors need to work , so test fuel pressure & sensors , if it is still not working possibly the computer has a problem

"Won't start and I'm not going to yank it off and replace it with a carb".

Thats what they used to do at the dealerships on these. We don't have the 81 book on the shelf and I'm pretty sure it's a one year system. Let me check another source we have.

Also i've got an 83 Chrysler RWD book on the shelf that covers the system, let me know what you want/need and I can send it. Is it lacking fuel or spark (I'm assuming fuel)
let me know

I found that site yesterday and printed a bunch of stuff to check from that long thread.  I'll start checking what they recommend after it stops raining. I have the same problems as some of those postings from 11 years ago. Starts with gas put into the carb , then dies. I'm going to start with the fuel pump in the tank, then follow it to the high pressure pump the to the injectors to see what I have.    I guess they were trying to start a whole new system, but it died when the regular mechanics couldn't fix it.  It's funny when I look at the engine compartment, all of the electronic modules melted all of the goo protecting the circuit boards and dripped out like sticky hot-melt glue and puddled underneath them.  What a modern marvel! (yeah right)
