what sensor does the computer rely on to know when to open and close the fuel injector?

If its onlly out of the front cylinder, unplug the front injector and start it up. If it still dumping fuel, it's a mechanical issue. If it stops dumping fuel with the injector unplugged, turn the key on and with the injector unplugged, put a test light across the two wires. It should not light up. If it does, the driver circuit for that injector is shorted somewhere or the ecm is bad.

Your first mistake is throwing good money after bad by replacing all these parts without diagnosing the problem first. Diagnose the problem first. This is a lesson for you and others that do that.

Second, that is quite the run on sentence. I don't believe there is a period in there. Use punctuation and paragraphs to make it more legible. Preview and read your posts. I sound like an *** but people will skip over your thread if it is difficult to read. Spelling and grammar are optional. This is what it should look like:
