Theres another thread right above this one where a IDM module went out, and only 5 of his cylenders were working, but since it is all on the same bank, i would pay wiring harness.

Its not throwing any codes. I have my own code reader. Fords computer can check to see why power is not making it to the injectors.

Check all your connections to the left side of the engine. A code scanner may not pick up improperly connected plugs or a damaged harness.
