Go grab some Chemtool B-12, clean your injectors, if that doesn;t work I would say your next best best is try and swap out your fuel rail, it may have some deposits that have built up. Chemtool is great but it doesn't always get all the deposits.
Loosen the rail and pull an injector out (slightly) and have someone crank it over. Take the coil wire off first! You should see fuel spurting out.
So you have varified spark? (have to check the trinity first) Starting fluid could combust just by pressure (kinda like a diesel)

so i just pulled the fuel rail and none of the injectors are firing. i put on a test light and it lights up when im cranking the engine. i pulled out the injector an turned the key and fuel shot out of the rail with no injector in. i also put a 12v jumper wire an fuel shot out the injector. so does this mean i have a bad wiring harness? or what?
