Sounds like you computer relay, they are known to go bad frequently. The computer relay powers the fuel pump relay switching side, also the injectors. esean had this same problem not too long ago.

Look at the lower right hand corner of this wiring diagram.

The pulse is too fast for a normal test light, you need a noid light. Also the pulse is on the ground side, not the 12V + side. The 12V side is constant on, a dim light is not enough current to open injectors.

Do you have a positive at the red wires going to the injectors when you ground to something else?

How did you check the relay? Sometimes they still click, but dont work. Check all fuses and fusible links just to make sure.
