well i think the injectors get there pulse from the tfi if im not mistaken, make sure you are getting fuel pressure, the pump can turn on but might no be enough pressure to run.

Hook up a fuel pressure gauge to make sure you have fuel pressure. I would also test the TFI module and make sure it's not bad.

Do you have any error codes?
