So you've actually pulled a plug and grounded it and cranked the engine and verified spark? Is it a strong, BLUE, snapping spark? Yellow/orange/white indicates a weak spark which may not be strong enough to start the engine; I've answered two threads this week where weak spark was the culprit and the ignition coil was the cause.

How do you know the injectors are not getting a pulse? Did you use a noid light?

Plugs are getting good spark and we used a test light to check the injectors
