Ron,
Check very carefully the blanking cap on the end of No.1 injector. It can leak and hide the fact...
Does it start OK? Does it 'hunt' at all either from cold or hot when idling?
Does the engine stop within a second of turning the key? Does the Engine management light come on at any time either during shutdown or whilst running?
Can it develop full power?
When did you last change the filter?
Can you see any air bubbles in the translucent fuel pipe leading to the pump?
Sorry for all the questions. It'll help the diagnosis!
