Fuel injector problem???

I have been trying to start my engine for the past few days. I traced the no start to the engine getting no fuel. I pulled the injectors and rails off. There is fuel in the rail. I am positive that I put the injector connectors on the right injectors. I tested the injectors with some jumper wires, all are 'clicking' and I can see them opening. Could it be the ECU not triggering them or could it be something else? There is fuel pressure.

how do you know the engine is getting no fuel? Have you checked the plugs after cranking the enigne?

Hows your fuel pressure?

Just a stupid idea....but have you gotten your fuel lines crossed? I remember having just such a problem with my motor swap, new engine wouldnt fire. It cranked over for 4 hours, I had spark but no fuel. Turns our the main difference in teh 87 rats nest and teh 88 rats nest was teh fuel lines were reversed.

you need to see if you have power to the injectors
if you donot have any testing equiptment you can use a stethascope to to listen for the injectors clicking
