I've got an em4-6f system and have been trying to trouble shoot the car and I'm stuck. The car won't start. I checked all fuses with a ohm meter, the coils are firing (all 3 coils), and there is 12V present at the injector plugs. The injectors don't fire when cranking tho. I tried a noid light to verify this and I was correct. If I test fire them with a jumper wire they click and work. I assume this can't be a hall sensor problem as I'm getting coil fire. What should I check next? I unplugged all the injector harness wires and checked for any sort of corrosion and found none. I don't know if this is worth mentioning or not, but I washed the car about an hour earlier (but not the engine bay). I stopped for lunch, started the car right up, drove out of the parking lot and then it died right as I pulled out on to the street. Let me know what I need to look for, I'm running out of ideas.

I had run new ground and power wires, checked everything I could think of. I ended up calling Barry at SDS up once the canadian holiday was over and we talked for awhile. We finally narrowed it down to a faulty map sensor telling the car it was at full vaccum...therefore it wasn't getting any fuel. It ended up being a pinched wire that had eventually grounded itself out after rubbing for quite some time.
