My car wont start. It has gas, its getting a spark, and the gas is going through. They told me it could be a sensor or the computer. What is the most common thing to go bad in these type of cars?

You know you are getting gas because you pulled an injector? How did you determine that gas is getting supplied? One the electrical side of the scheme, it is possible to get spark but because either the cam or crank sensor is sending bad information the spark is supplied at the wrong time. Does it once in a while pop like it might start? I would look to the shaft sensors if the car is getting fuel.
