Okay. So I read the diagnose a no start section. About 10 times. Let me explain what's going on. The car sat for years when I got it. It's a 1990 laser turbo. I'm sure people are sick of hearing from me by now but I really need this car running. I put a new battery in it. It cranked but didn't start. So I read the thread. I sprayed starter fluid in the cylinders. The car started. So I started with the fuel. Since the car had been sitting so long I drained the gas tank. Cleaned it out. Put a new (stock) fuel pump and fuel filter in it. Put new gas in, octane booster. Put it all back together. Still just cranks. Did a spark test, I have spark, checked my fuel pressure regulator it is fine. Took the computer out I didn't see any damage or anything, boost goes halfway when key is on, I put new plugs and wires in anyway, I'm sure I'm going to hear that it's fuel injectors but I can't afford that right now and am looking for any suggestions on anything else it could be. To make sure I have covered everything before I spend the money on those. And if it is those does anyone have stock ones for cheap? I also checked my mpi relays, I also checked all the wiring several times. Required some work but nothing major. I also did a compression test all cylinders were about 145 to 155. Also. The gas gauge doesn't work. I'm telling you this because I know one thing can sometimes be a clue to another. Any help would be great. Ask any questions I will try to answer them. If I can't I will go out there and do whatever you need and tell you the results. Thank you.
 
manually fire the fuel pump and check fuel at the rail. You can disconnect the return line and put it into a can. At least you'll see if you're getting volume. You can also chcck injector fire with a noid light. If they aren't even getting a signal to fire you need to start there. You obviously have spark or it wouldn't have started with starting fluid. sitting for that long fuel injectors may be gummed up. At least see if they are getting a signal.
