Tested all injectors with a test lamp no power when cranked how about crank sensor although it does not register as a fault.

You mentioned cylinder # 1 is not firing, how can the engine run without any power to the injectors?

Our database does not have any information on your vehicle but generally most injectors have power supply to them with ignition on and while cranking. The PCM would ground the circuit according to signals from the cam position sensor.
