There are 3 things the car needs to start...Fuel (coming out of the injectors), ignition (in the proper order) and air. Since we don't live in a vacuum we know it has air. Hook a spark plug to one of the plug wires and hold it against a good ground while someone cranks the engine. You should see a blue/white spark. Then double check the wires for being in the correct order. If that is ok, get a noid light (parts store), pull one of the injector connectors off and hook the noid light to it and have someone crank the engine while you watch the light. It should flash, indicating that the injectors are being commanded to fire by the ECM.
