90q20v won't start

[121040@comcast.net]

The diagram is correct, I was looking at it 90 degrees off.  I was able to pull the codes and got 4444.  I also confirmed I have spark so now I am looking at the fuel system.   The distributor drive gear self destructed about 2 years ago so I already have a new distributor.  I can hear the fuel pump run for a couple of seconds when I turn the key on so I was assuming that everything was OK.  However, I disconnected the fuel line to the manifold that feeds the injectors and nothing is coming out.  Shouldn't fuel spray out of it when I turn the key on?  I am about to check the fuel filter, maybe something caused it to block up.  

By the way, you can also activate the fault codes by inserting a fuse in the fuel pump relay in the middle of the fuse box.
