However, I can hook direct power to it and it comes on, yet the 2 injectors won't work. I have changed harness, fuel pump, have oil pressure. why won't my pump turn on from key?

Hello, I'm Danny.

Sounds like you might be having an issue with the fuel pump relay.It's mounted on the right side of the firewall.Here is a tutorial on how to test a relay:

Okay, Lets see if the PCM is getting power and ground. here is a guide to help with the testing and the engine and computer wiring diagrams so you can see which wires to test and how the system works. Make sure you test the fusible link.
