Check your firing order. Is is MPFI? Yous might have fuel coming from the fuel pump but all the injectors might not be working, so check each injector.

At work i have a probing sethscope i put on the injects, just use a long flatheaded screwdriver, put it on the injector and put your ear on the screwdriver. An injector will make a very fast ticking sound as it pulses.
