Not starting, won't turn over

I get no click from the solenoid. With key to run, bridging the solenoid
terminals gets a spark, nothing from the solenoid. Starter/solenoid are working.
Battery shows 12.5-6 volts
I followed Bentley, with key to start I get 4 volts [should be 8 or greater]
at terminal 50 [small wire] on the solenoid. I get 12.6 volts to terminal 30
[big wires] on the solenoid. I disconnected the ignition switch connector
and have 12.6 volts coming to it via terminal 30. I have .03 ohms resistance
from the switch to the solenoid along the thin wire going to terminal 50....so,
as far as I can tell, my wire paths are in good shape, getting power to the
solenoid and switch and have a solid path along the thin, often maligned,
wire going to the solenoid. Battery is good, grounds are good.
Bentley said replace the ignition switch. I did, no change, still 4 volts at
terminal 50. The metal tang in the ignition housing that mates with the
ignition switch is solid.
I looked at wiring diagrams in Bentley, but, I'm not real good at reading
those.
I pulled codes and get open circuits on all injectors and an open circuit on
the waste gate frequency valve. I checked the waste gate frequency valve and
it checks ok. I'm not sure how to approach the injectors.....and I could see
how these would hurt running conditions, not starting conditions.
So, any ideas?
