Do you have a spark?

Maybe the crankshaft position (Hall) transmitter?

yes there is a spark yes there is fuel and yes i have power at the injectors

You say that you have fuel at the fuel rail and power at the injectors but are the injectors actually delivering this fuel to the intake manifold?

Also, have you checked the induction system to ensure that sufficient air is getting to the engine - air filter, throttle body, intake manifold, associated ducting?

Finally, the air/fuel mix might not be reaching the cylinders - are the valves opening correctly and in the correct sequence (engine timing)? Are the HT leads connected to the correct plugs?

 

Did the engine used to start? If so, what has happened since?

the imobiliser cuts the fuel so no feed check the ring on the ignition switch
