Possibly could be a clogged fuel injector or many other things, Bassboy would you like to handle this one?

Check your fuses, there is sometimes a fuse for the fuel system. Also trace the wires from the injector back and make sure there isnt a cut or anything in them (aswell as checking any wire harnesses if there are any). I would start out by unhooking the battery for a few mins then hooking it back up, sometimes this helps. You could also check the conections on the computer.
