Having that many injector codes is usually the sign of a failed ficm.

X3 for ficm

Plugging it in normally warms it up a little and helps

When i came out to start it, the "clicking" if you will, under the hood wasnt there. so i cycled the key and it didnt change, and it just cranked. So i think the ficm too because it didnt seem to be getting fuel. But until i test it, i wont know for sure.

OK that should help you a lot.
FICM Main Power (FMP) shouldn't go below 45 volts
FICM Logic Power (FLP) should be same around 12.5 volts.

You might check the ground on your ficm harness. Make sure it is grounded good, driver side at the back of valve cover.

Sounds odd. Try unplugging it and plugging it back in.

Ok. I got it. 48.5 FMP and 12.0 FLP it was a little warmed up though, so im gonna check it in the morning after it has set all night unplugged. Im hoping nothing is wrong, rather a wiring issue than a FICM replacement.
