So I recently purchased a 97' Eclipse GSX, shortly after I got it home from a few hour long drive the shift fork snapped, destroyed the TOB sleeve, TOB, etc. Once all that was fixed by a local shop the car wouldn't start anymore unless ether was sprayed into it.

There was a 1-2 week period that the battery was disconnected till they got to it, not sure if that has anything to do with it but it's been disconnected for maintenance in the last and been fine. It cranks fine and like I said it'll start of starter spray/ether. It also has a super afc installed I believe if that makes a difference.

Any suggestions? I don't think it's the plugs given it starts with something to catch on and I don't think all 4 injectors died at the same time.
 
Can you verify you have fuel pressure from the fuel pump? Check your mpi fuses to see if they're good and check your fuel pump fuse to see if they removed it or it blew. Most DSMs have the fuel pump rewired by a previous owner with a fuse added in the back of the car.
 
It has a Fuel Labs fuel regulator and it's reading 0. So I have a feeling either the pump blew with the hot, cold, hot weather we've been having while it was sitting for 2 weeks waiting to be worked on or it's not getting power because a relay blew, haven't checked the relay yet but will do soon.

Thanks for the heads up about relocating the fuse! Is there any particular reason they normally get relocated?
