1998 D16Y7 fuel injectors have power but don't work

Hey there, got a 1998 d16y7. Distributor is giving spark but I can't get the fuel injectors to spray. The car cranks but won't start. I just cant hear the injectors spraying. I replaced the main relay and still nothing. Anybody?

I'd use a 'noid light' to see if the computer is completing the circuit (pulsing the grounds) for the fuel injectors.


Got a spray can of something flammable? Carb and throttle cleaner, perhaps? Spray a bit of that into the intake, see if the engine will fire on that. If it fires then you know it's lacking fuel for some reason.
