LISTEN UP !!!! when You first turn the key to "run" position, do You hear the fuel pump running ??? that is very important first step in diagnosing problems with the fuel system.
If o fuel pump can be heard, check the fuses. ECM will be the ones.

Welcome to the forum.

Did you test with a light for power at the injectors on the red and white wires?

Then you are not getting power from the fuse panel. Check for power on BOTH sides of this fuse. If you have power on both side there is a break in the line somewhere. There is a splice in the harness above the pass side valve cover you can check. I am assuming your key is on performing these checks.

I tested the fuse box and got power to
one side of the fuse. Also in the upper
left hand corner of the fuse box is the ign with
a red wire and pink wire with a black tracer
do you know what there for? Because the
guy I got this truck off of has two of the pink
wires with tracers wired together and not
even going into the ign circuit at all. And I can't
see a red wire hanging anywhere around
my fuse box for the other side of the ign
circuit. Thank you

Lets focus on one thing at a time. Forget the other wires for now. When you tested was the fuse in our out?
