I have fuel at the fuel injector, but when I turn the key it will not activate the injector. I have replaced the injector with a new one, but still does not work. What energizes the injector?

With the key turned on, is there voltage at the injector plug? The injector is controlled on the ground side by the computer.

With the engine cranking, is there spark at the plugs?

Yes I have spark at the plugs, it will burn the gas that has been manually poured into the throttle body. I wonder if it could be the thottle body sensor? I need to know how to test that sensor.

Hello, in my opinion, you need to test the injector circuits. The injector needs B+ and ground pulse. You can take the connector loose, just turn the key on, The B+ circuit goes hot with the key on, no need to crank, use a test lite on the circuit. If you have B+, then the computer may not be grounding the injector. One reason it may not ground it, is a missing rpm signal.
