Not starting

Hey guys,
So long story short I was having problems having my 1986 rx7 started. It uses to start just fine but slowly had problems getting it to start. After checking fuses, and changing fuel pump I decided to change the injectors. Well once I put it back together it's even worse than it was. Before when I would turn it over it kept making the noise as if it was starting but would die. Now it just cranks my fan but everything else isn't. Here's the video if anyone has any insight that would be appreciated. Thank you.

Will it start with starting fluid? Check vacuum leaks. I'm still working on getting my motor running well but there were several vacuum leaks that were definitely an issue. Also, there is a lot of good info if you search old threads.

I can't say I've tried starting fluid yet however I have changed my fuses, fuel pump, fuel injectors, spark plugs. I've checked and I'm getting spark and the fuel is getting pumped. I'll check for vacuum leaks and keep you posted. Thanks for the reply.
