Incorrect Fuel Injector Pulse....HELP..

Troubleshooting crank no start on 1990 F150 351W 5.8L V8 with EFI.
Put noid lite on 2 different injector leads. Same result from each.....
With key On no lite, crank and I see pulses.

From what I read this is incorrect. With key on noid should be lit and with cranking should see pulses of lite off.

What I am seeing is the inverse.

Any ideas as to what is wrong or is the description I read incorrect????

The way you interpret the description is incorrect.

You are seeing normal function.

With the key on the ecm is not grounding the circuit to open the injector until it gets a PIP signal from the distributor.

When the engine is turning the computer grounds the circuit, allowing electricity to pass through the injector (or testlight)
