the engine is getting fuel but I have a feeling that the injectors are not working or receiving power, please let me know if you have a way to check for pulsation to the injectors, Thank You, Ralph.

The typical problem with the injectors is the wire harness. The harness IS the valve cover gasket. Quite often the plugs on the valve cover will melt out. If you pop off the valve covers, you may see damage to the connectors. Replace whatever is damaged. The other possibility is the crankshaft sensor. It is located on the front cover and it is common for them to go bad. This also causes a no start condition. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
