Default 3.1 injectors arnt firing

i have a 3.1 in my 93 lumina, long story short, i derbyed it, well the engine doesnt run right now, and i need it running by the 21st... the rail is getting plenty of gas, i know this, and the spark plugs are working fine, the problem is the injectors arnt getting ant power, i hooked a test light to one, and nothing... so this in the problem. i replaced the icm, and all 3 coils, and nothing helped... is there any wayto hard wire them to something, maybe to the spark plugs... i dont wanna sound stupid, but that might work, idk, lol, i just need it going, i checked the fuil pump realy, its fine, i read about some ptm or something like that runs it, and used the fil pump relay too, i have the pump hardwired, but idk, its weird, any ideas...

I don't know about your lumina, but I've got a brother with the 3.1 in a Pontiac and he had this problem recently. Turns out that they have a fuse that controls the injectors. Check all of your fuses. Maybe you'll luck out and find a fuse has blown.

About all I can think of is just start tracing the harness wires to see if there's a broken one somewhere. Seems kind of strange that none of them are getting fire. Sorry I can't be of more help, but I'm not a mechanic. I learned to work on cars back in the early 70's before the computers took over every function. I know cars are more efficient nowadays, but I miss the simplicity of the carburetor cars with points and distributors.
