If you switched fuel injector connectors and the injector in question does work. I'd check the wiring circuit for the injector in question. In the past, throttle body injection, 5.7L engine, Both injectors would pulse and spray with only 5psi fuel pressure. Fuel pressure for tbi is 9--13 psi. Even though the injectors would pulse and spray, 5 psi wouldn't start that vehicle, may not start any vehicle.
