Hello to all

I have a 81Z 280ZX which has been running really rough and very difficult to start, i had to pump the accelerator to get it to start. The other day it started and died and never started again. I posted previous message and received many outstanding suggestions. But unfortunately to no avail. My main concern is that in my Haynes repair manual pg 109 section 6 EFI component testing, it says to check Control unit and use a 12v 3 w lamp to check wheter the open injector pulse for cranking is getting to injectors. The bulb should flash when cranking the engine. I DO NOT have this pulse. Anyone have any ideas or is this test not valid? Please help???
