My car is acting like it is not getting fuel to start. I replaced fuel pump and inline filter. I took injectors out and they spray but not sure if correctly. If I keep cranking on it it seems to try to start. Any suggestions?

Check for spark, You need compression, fuel, and spark for engine to run.
