You should have a couple of relays for your system. The TBI wiring harness uses a special relay for the fuel pump. You should be able to hear the pump when you turn on the key. If you can't hear it, you need to make sure that your switched power to the relay is working. So I would start there. Check for fuel pump relay, power at the pump, if those check out but no pump action, it probably died. With the key on, you should be able to use a circuit tester at the injectors, each injector has two wires, there is a common color to both, this is hot. The different colored wires are actually grounds and go directly to the ECM that pulses them by grounding them. Check that. If there is no power there, you need to do some digging and find out how the install was done, but if it was done properly, there should be a relay that powers this circuit and it would likely be an after market job. Again, you are useing switched power to make the relay work, so check for a live wire at the relay with the key on (obviously this wire will be linked to a fuse in the rig, so start there.) You should have switched power, a ground, a lead to the battery and and one that energizes when switched power is applied. All these can be checked with a simple circuit tester, and I would bet anything you will find your problem.

So to recap, check fuses, check for switched power at the relays, check for power at each injector with key on. Listen for fuel pump operation and you should be able to narrow it down pretty fast.
