note the diagram for fuel injector, top injector, voltage wire is red. In the diagram, the bottom fuel injector, voltage wire is white. Those wires go hot with key on, and fuse protected. Did you check voltage at wires, key on, use a test light. If no voltage check the inj fuse. If voltage and you suspect the ground, the pcm grounds it. Check for rpm signal before replacing anything.

Just to add, the purple wire with white tracer carries rpm signal from distributor to computer, engine cranking check for a signal on that wire, dc pulse. If you have digital multimeter with tach--duty cycle any of that should react to dc pulse. If nothing on that wire, have to dig further. Just my opinion.
