Maybe. You did mention that starting fluid seemed to help, so there could still be a problem with fuel delivery.

So you've got pressure up to the fuel rail... are the injectors spraying?

You can look for power being sent to the injectors while cranking, and/or disable the ignition and see if the spark plugs are wet after cranking.

How do I disable ignition? I'm working by myself and can't crank and watch meter at same time.

Any way you want, really. CKP sensor, ICM, coil, plug wires... all you have to do is keep the plugs from sparking, so they won't burn off any fuel that gets sprayed.

Disconnecting the coil plug, won't effect the injectors spaying?
