Al,
You may have answered this already, but have you checked the injector spray patterns?  It is possible that they "click" ok while the fuel orifices are plugged with some gunk.  I took mine and safety wired them to the injector manifold, hooked up a fuel supply, hit them with 12v and observed the spray patterns.  Probably a waste of time, but it would tell you that you're getting a good mix of fuel into each chamber.

BTW, Initially I had incorrectly wired my injector relay.  It took me a while to figure out what I had done wrong and correct it.  I got it wired correctly now... I think.
