something isn't adding up, if you got an audible click from the primary injectors, you cleaned the engine harness ground and the fuel pressure is ok then the car should run. i suggest testing the injectors manually by doing the spray pattern test from the FSM while triggering them with the CAS removed.

I will try that but if the cas was bad then wouldn't there be no spark ?

He's not suggesting that the CAS is bad. What is being suggested is that the CAS is removed, but still plugged in, and w/key to on the CAS wheel is spun by hand, and it will trigger the primary injectors (this is done w/the coils disabled).

So I pulled the cas out and spun it and I could hear both injectors clicking so then I turned the fuel pump on and spun it to see if I could hear it spray fuel and I couldn't so the injectors have to be clogged right ?

Thought it was worth a shot but now that I know they are firing for sure and my plugs are still dry then I guess they are plugged up

Relieve pressure and pull the primary rail. Zip-tie or wire tie the injectors to the rail. Turn the car over. Watch for spray.

Ya I will . I just have to get the intake manifold off . One of my friends had a theory that the car would die because things would block the injectors and then when I would turn the key off and the fuel pump would shut of and relieve pressure and whatever was blocking the injector would float back into the rail and now whatever it is is just stuck in the injectors and I'm thinking that'd what it is

i have never seen an injector actually actuate and not spray, but that is not to say your inlet filters aren't clogged somehow by debris. i just find this one a bit far fetched since the car was running prior to this?

anyways, next step is to remove the injectors, a physical spray pattern test as in the FSM would shed some light on it too.

welp, you better flush out the fuel feed line and change your filter then, your fuel filter might have disintegrated.

if so, score one for Fuhnortoner.
