well, like stated, if the red power wire isnt getting power, and it's only a foot away from the fuse box, trace it back to its fuse and check it! sure enough, that fuse was broken. not burned, mind you, but corrosion made it give up the ghost and it had actually broken inside. (its the large brown fuse with the clear top for "Eng Cont")

i swapped over the fuse for "RET MTR" next to it and low and behold! so then i go to start it, and the ECU light wont go out. hmmm... CAS isnt reading. go to look at the distributor and it's an autoparts store model. complete junk. swap in his original and it fires right up.

just so you all know, injectors should have power at all times, even with the key out. the power comes directly from the battery, into the fuse box and out to your F9/F10 plugs (the large grey plug behind the headlight that attaches to the engine harness) and also to your EGI relay (this relay powers your MAFS and CAS). from there, it goes to the injectors and also to the ecu for backup (read: constant) power.
