Default having problems with dpfi (epic fail)

the car sat for a cpl years and i just bought it about 2 weeks ago. guy said the fuel injectors were bad. got new injectors+fuel filter. drained the tank DRY of all fuel put 4 gallons of 93 octane in it. and i can't get the car running. it's getting spark from each spark plug(put new ones in).. the timing sounds right.

the strangest thing is the car ran with the old gas and fuel filter in it for a whole 20 min. then when i started to go somewhere it died. and hasn't started since. it wont even act like it wants to start anymore. and the fuel pump relay is clicking three times like it's suppose to. any help would be appreciated

I would pull off the pressurized end of the fuel filter to make sure gas is getting atleast up to the fuel filter just to make sure the gas is getting up to that point.

You can just pop off the screw and turn the key to prime the pump and make sure fuel comes out. Or maybe even the fuel return line to ensure it's coming out the other end of the rail.

First thing is to ensure its a fuel problem... Several ways to check but make sure you have fuel after the filter and to the throttle body. You can probably look down the throttle body to see if the primary injector is spraying. I just got through all this myself. Mine was a froze up primary injector. If you pour a little fuel down the throttle body will it attempt to run?
