Default 2000 ram 1500 Has spark but no injector pulse wont start

I have a 2000 ram 1500 with the 5.9. Truck HAS fuel Presure (50 psi) it HAS spark. But it will not start. I checked the injector plugs and they have nothing at all. If you pray ether into the engine IT WILL run. But stop once you stop spraying. I have checked everything i can check. I have even replaced the Crank Sensor and still nothing. I have also swapped out the PCM and still the same problem. I even took the pcm out and stuck it in a durango of the same year and motor and it ran just fine. I cant figure why the injectors have no pulse. What am i missing?

Also The truck has no codes showing and it has a new battery.

Check the ground wires. Like the one that mounts to the PS pump bracket and passenger side head to firewall.

I went back and tested those two grounds and cleaned them. still same problem. Has spark. has compression. and runs on starter fluid. fuel preasure is good but the injectors wont fire. all relays are good and been tested and so has the pcm/ecu ect

the PCM is missing a ground for the injector pulse look at a diagram and see where its missing

Rock Auto calls it a distributor pick up coil, but this is the cam sensor that fires your injectors.

If it's firing on starting fluid it's not the sensors. Check that you are getting power12+ to the terminals on the injectors. The ASD relay supplies this but will shut off after a few seconds with the key in the run position but not running. Second get noid lights and hook them up. This will tell you if the injector is getting a signal to fire. If not i would say the issue is in the wiring from the injectors to the pcm.
