did you de-pressurize the fuel system prior to removeing the injector?
also just check make sure the wiring plug is clean & all contacts are clean too
are you also getting a spark? remove one of the plugs & just rest it on the cam-cover, it should spark when you try to turn the engine over.

Did you remove the injector becuase of some running problems? If it was lumpy idling or hesitation during acceleration, could be fuel pump :boggle
but...
remove the black housing above the injector & whiole someone is trying to start the engine, see if you can see a spray of fuel in the throttle-body. if you cant, then there could be problems with the connection to the injector, or it may not be seated correctly. Connect a volt meter to the wiring connector & see if there are any pulses when turning engine over & if there is, try removeing the injector again & re-fitting it.
If no pulses on voltage meter, could be the fuse which has gone, but I'm unsure as to what fuse corresponds to the fueling system as I cant find my haynes manual.

could be flooded then
disconnec the wiring plug from the injector, remove the plugs & just leave it for about 30mins, could try turnin it over to clear out any resedue while plugs are out!
