1990 Chevrolet Cheyenne 1500 4.3 TBI 110k
i had to replace the motor in the truck because of a crank bearing problem. i found a used motor with 110k on it, i have installed the motor, my problem is that when i turn on the key the throttle body injectors wont stop spraying fuel like they are stuck WOT. i checked the TPS the ohms are a base of around 4 ohms and smoothly increase as you press the throttle with no dead spots. i changed the fuel pressure regulator, coolant temp sensor and the injectors still the same result sprays until i turn the key off

If you unplug the electrical connectors from the injectors, do they keep spraying while your cranking the engine?

Unplug the ECM and see if they spray. It is looking like a faulty ECM or it is somehow getting crank signals from the ignition control module with the ignition on (unlikely).

Let me get this right. If you have the ignition turned on and engine not running, the injectors will spray fuel all the time, but when you unplug the distributor connector they stop spraying?
Do you have the old distributor from the other engine?

What you could do, as a test, is take the distributor from the engine you got and just plug it in. Then take a jumper cable and ground the shaft of the distributor to the battery negative.
Then turn the ignition on and see if your injectors are showering. Don't turn the shaft of the distributor or else sparks will be flying around.

ok i took the old distributor and did like you said and the injectors dont spray but i hear a clicking coming from the two ovular black things, not sure what they are, on the passenger side of the firewall, the injectors also dont spray the first spray to prime like they normally did before when the truck ran before

Just curious, but did you install all your grounds on the engine? Make sure your grounds are clean and tight on the thermostat housing bolt. There should be some more grounds on the back of the cylinder heads. It is important to be sure that you have good grounds not only on the engine, but also from the engine to the body. Ground problems can cause all kinds of weird things.

Test lights don't need much current to run. Being able to light up shows continuity but can fail under load. Try hooking a jumper cable to a clean shiny part of the engine. Alternator bracket might be a good spot. Hook the other end to battery ground. See if there is a difference.

Spot on Nick. Test light isn't proof for this. If an LED and like them those don't take any power to light. Jumper cables make great test grounds which are everywhere. Battery neg to engine, again battery or then block to body metal and body metal to frame for some things too.
The existing straps can look OK but not be or got tugged or broken with an engine swap easily, T
