the dfi sends the ecu crank pulse to let it know the engine is turning so if it has no power the ecu wont see the engine turning and wont deliver injection pulse

Just looked at the one's on here. They aren't GM issued so different layout etc. Have you got 12V at the injectors? Should be the same feed.

i cant find anything specified efi relay, so im not to sure which one to go for, i have no power at the light green wire so i feel i should trace that back, but my diagram says it goes through a fuse and a relay but it looks like it goes through the ecu....hmmm

If your looking for the relay in the cars fuse panel its called the "engine cont relay" in the vy.
Also have you checked the engine fuse in the fuse panel under the dash and the engine fusible link in the under bonnet fuse panel?

I agree the factory docs are hard to read. I cant find that circuit on there either, or anywhere else on the net. Hopefully someone does have this info and can post it up here (or in the vy wiring thread for others).
Have you read the FAQ? For lots of information and links to significant threads see here: http://pcmhacking.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1396
