Are you getting spark at the plug end of the wires?
You may have a failed coil or control module.

If you've got spark but not firing the injectors the most likely problem is a faulty ECM.
The ECM controls the injectors. You should have power on the red wire with the key on, the other side is ECM controlled ground. Good luck.
