Car wont start?? Again

Alright problems with my 87 turbo again. I came home yesterday washed it pushed it in the garage. Just talked to my dad about how great it was running. its been about a month since I got the jspec in it. I had problems starting it before about 2 weeks ago took it apart put it bad together it started and its been starting easily ever since till this morning. I went to go to school wouldn't start I've been working on it ever sense. Can you guys give me some pointers, things to check out, it was running great just yesterday now, nothing. hooked a timing light up to it getting spark to L 1 and 2 and T 1 and 2. I guess im getting fuel I see fuel on the plugs and had pressure in the fuel line.

alright back inside again, got it started, only seems to start with gas pedal to the floor? i got it started by un connecting the fuel pump and cranking the engine than plugged it back in started cranking put my foot to the floor took off, went and drove it about 25 miles came back let it cool down tryed starting it nothing, un hooked the fuel pump again took off tryed starting it some more very hard to get it running. Any ideas? could it by my injectors? like one's staying full open, cause im wondering, im not useing the factory plugs on the injectors im just using individual plugs so instead of only one plug per injector i have 2. if its not any other ideas? Please

Yeah its 2 little connectors per injector, there just bare metal, and if there touching would it even start or could that be causing whats going on with it now? or could it be something else

If one of the wires could be grounded in someway to the engine, then yes that is your problem... the injectors are always on.

well went to my parked non turbo and cut off those connections and put them on the turbo, still the same problem, seems to flood out everytime i go to start it, then its still hard to start after i unflood it, also when it does run it revs kinda slow and ruff almost like its getting to much fuel. Any idea's?

Sounds like those injectors are stuck open.
