Icon2 Engine won't start. Fuel Problem?

Hello,
I have a 1988 CRX Si.
I just replaced the head gasket and got all the parts back on the car.
All the electrical in the interior works.
I can hear the fuel pump turning on.
The fuel reaches the fuel rail, but I'm not sure if the fuel injectors are working.
I tested my spark plugs and they spark.
The starter turns the motor.
I have got the car to turn on for a moment by spraying starter fluid into the intake manifold.

My question is if any of you guys know if this is definitely a fuel injector problem, or can there by another reason the car won't turn on?

Thank you,

disconnect the negative terminal, pull the fuse, take the ecu out (but thats a pain cause the clips suck) as long as you break the circut for like 30 seconds it should reset it... are you throwing any codes right now?

you can swap the injectors for known working ones, if that doesn't work check you mechanical timing. If your timing belt is off enough, your car will turn but won't start.
