You mean when cranking right? If the injectors are firing with the key on not running your ECM is fryed! Replace the harness, check the plugs to the harness?!

The injectors wont fire unless they have enough fuel pressure. The cp3 won't make any fuel pressure when the engine is not running. Do you think yours are firing?

Not true. With the engine not running or starter engaged and the key on, injectors #1 and #6 will cycle constantly to bleed the pressure out of the rail. ECU programming controls that.

Pressure will hold in the rail when the engine is shut down and the injector solenoid does not cycle. Keeps the potential for air getting into the system lower. When the key on sequence is detected the ECU cycles 1 injector on each bank.

When the cranking circuit is engaged there is a timeout that stops injectors cycling so the rail pressure can build. It takes 2 full engine revolutions to synch the cam and crank sensor so the CP-3 is spinning 3 times as many to build pressure. The purge routine is easily fit into the crank and synch before the engine actually fires.
