I mean it could be a bent or crushed fuel line, being one off the lowest stock made vehicles; however, if this is not the case, then I'd start by buying a $6-10 "noid" test light from AutoZone, or CarQuest, etc. and plugging this in by the injector. it could be that the injector is clogged and/or damaged; thereby not getting electical input and/or not opening to spray the fuel...
OR
it might be a fuel pump relay; which is another $6-10-15 dollar part that would interfere with fuel delivery.
since the engine fires while manually spraying a fuel substance down its throat (TBI), you at least know that it is a minor, not major problem; and you have isolated it as a fuel delivery, not ignition or air intake, etc...
hope this helps,
