What I'd do:
1. Check to make sure your fuel pump is buzzing when the key is first turned on, or I believe you can apply 12V to ALDL pin G (bottom left) to see if you get fuel to the base of the TBI. Could be relay or pump itself.
2. Check for injector signal with a noid light.
3. Test your ignition control module, or have it tested.
4. Only other thing I can think off the top of my head is the oil pressure switch.

That's just a rough sketch of what I would play with. Definitely make sure your pump is coming on, though.
