No Start - Help

My 89 coupe recently died. It will crank over, but will not start. I have a FSM and started going through the analysis. I pulled the MAF connector to put it in default mode, but still no go. I jumped the A and B terminals on the diagnostic port and I get 12's through the SES light. I am getting spark to the plugs and have around 43 PSI to the fuel rail. A NOID light plugged into the injector harness reveals NO lights. When I probe both terminals of the harness with a grounded test light I get a light on both terminals. I pulled the ECM and probed D15 and D16 and get a light on both terminals. I thought all this was indicative of a bad ECM, but ordered one from RockAuto, transferred the PROM, and put the new one in today. No joy. I still am not getting any lights on the NOID to the injector harness. I love this old red car, but I am on my last good nerve with it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. If I left out anything, just ask. Thanks!

Maybe pull a injector, crank it over and see if the injector is actually working? Are you getting a good spark at the plug?

Getting good spark at the plug. Not sure how the injector would be working if the NOID light is showing no pulses.

I will try starting fluid, but it was a little low on gas (about 1/4 tank), so I added 5 gallons of fresh gas, not that the gas in there was over a couple of weeks old.
