Check your grounds. i just had a similar issue. i had a loose ground and a corroded ground on the harness to engine in the back by the sensors. not a problem yet. poor grounds can cause electrical nightmares and making you chasing a lot of other "related symptoms" .
good luck

Awesome I Appreciate the responses, I will carry out those tests tomorrow morning and see if I find anything interesting
If nothing else I hope this thread serves as a good guide for owners in the community chasing fuel related non-starts.

Update:
It's been raining like crazy but at last the Lindsey racing harness is in. No change. I also noticed that grounding either pole of the injector pigtail gives 12v on my voltmeter with the key on.
I also tested the speed and reference sensors at the DME and both volts and ohms readings were well within range on both sensors.
Tomorrow II will go through the grounds in earnest but grounding either the block or the body of the car with juper cables changed nothing so it seem to me that are not the culprit
Questions:
- Shouldn't only one side of the injector connector have 12v?
- What other possible explanation could there be for no injector pulse? The DME is known good and the harness is 6 hours old and correctly installed

Resolved!!!!
After adding the new harness testing everything I could imagine still no joy
I finally went over my alarm system jumper on the off off chance that there was a break in the wire I used to jump it (new wire!!!) I would make another one. I made the new jumper wires and installed them and it fired right up!!!!!
A huge thanks to everyone who posted or researched on my behalf If you are ever in Lynchburg PM me and I will gladly buy you a beer.
Mods: if you could put Resolved in the title that would be great
