Verify you are getting power to the relay, pin 30. Should be 12 volts regardless of key position.

If you are getting 12 volts there, put a jumper in from pin 30, to pin 87, check for power at injectors, and coil packs.

Will it start and run?

If it won't, see if you are getting spark/injector pulse.

Check IOD fuse, make sure it isn't blown.

Crank sensor will trigger coils. If you get spark at all, that's fine.

Cam sensor triggers injectors. Its just a hall affect switch. So, it's an on/off kind of thing.

When you first turn the ignition on, does the CEL come on, even as a bulb test?

Test for power at the engine computer. If the engine light isn't turning on, it sounds like the engine computer isn't getting power.
