Will not start. No injector pulse. Pcm, gas pump EGR regulator, ECU, and all sensors seem to be OK. Will crank but not start.

Check the basics. Fuel, spark, and compression.

Compression check is simply to crank the engine and listen to it. If it seems to spin freely as if there were no spark plugs in it, you would have no compression. If it sounds normal, then compression is OK.

Check for fuel pressure at the test port on the fuel rail. Pressure should come up to about 40 to 45 psi when you turn on the key and during cranking.

If fuel pressure is OK, check for spark. Use an inline spark tester. If no spark, you could have either a bad ingition module or a bad crank position sensor.
