4 sparks needed?
After installing my cleaned injectors, my car wont crank. I checked for spark and i have all except 1, on my trailing 2 coil pack. I was wondering if all 4 sparkplugs were needed to spark in order for the car to crank.

the leading plugs do most of the work to get and keep the engine running, are you using new plugs?
by not cranking i assume you mean it won't fire but does turn over correct?
if you have both leading and 1 trailing spark the engine should still fire up but may not run exceptionally well. have you tried the unflooding procedures?

I'm not using new plugs, I switched spark plugs and put one I know that works onto the the T2 coil pack and still no spark. It does fire but doesnt turn over. When i had the spark plugs out, i could see a bit of fuel and smell fuel on them. I sprayed starting fluid into both the trailing sparkplug holes, but it still wouldnt crank.

get a set of new plugs for it, pull out the EGI fuse in the engine room fuse box(30amp fuse nearest the engine) and crank the engine for 10 seconds with the plugs out. reinstall the fuse, squirt a little bit of either 2 stroke oil, engine oil, marvel mystery oil or ATF into each leading plug hole and reinstall the spark plugs. crank the engine over and hopefully it should start up, if not then you likely have some other issues somewhere.
check the compression, check your fuel lines to be sure they are installed correctly (feed line off the fuel filter goes to the forward steel line to the fuel rail) if you removed them, lastly be sure you have the spark plug wires in the correct locations.

i replaced the plug and its not flooded. I recently got my injectors cleaned so i know its not clogged. I can smell gas on the plugs but its not really strong. I replaced the fuel pump on the car around a month ago. I know fuel is going through the fuel lines, just not too certain that its getting through the injectors. I'm thinking it could be a wiring problem. Is there a way to check that current is getting to the injectors. I'll do a compression check just to be on the safe side.
