96 ek wont start
Fuel, spark, electricity.
Fuel
Check to see that your fuel pump is priming, by listening near your backseat when the key is turned to the "ON" position. You should hear the whirring of the pump. If not, you have a bad fuel pump, or a fuse is blown. Check fuses.
Pull out an injector from the fuel rail, see if fuel is getting there. If not, then either you have a leak, a bad pump, or a clogged fuel filter.
Spark
Ensure that you're getting spark by pulling out a spark plug wire from the spark plug chamber, and see if you're seeing spark when starting. If not, you may have an ignition problem (distributor), or an ECU problem. Check fuses.
Also ensure that all your grounds are on, especially the thermostat ground.
Electricity
Is your car showing any signs of a dead battery, or continuity issues?
Check your harness to see physically if there is any frays, cuts, or plugs/sensors that are not connected.
Make sure that your main relay is plugged in, if you can swap it with a friend who's car is operational, it may show you whether it is good/bad/indifferent.

no what he is saying is if he sprays fuel in the intake the car runs which means he has spark but his injectors are not firing. I need help with this as well as I am in the same position.
