Car won't start.....(sorry if a new-b question)

Well I can't get my 1987 RX7 SE to start. It has 150K on it. I got a new battery, new plugs, and we have checked the alternator, plug wires, CAS, fuel pump, filter, and FPR. It seems that fuel isn't getting through the injectors. My friend says the rear one (the one closer to the rear of the car) isn't getting fuel through it. We aren't 100% sure if this is just a starting thing, or if the injector is bad. I'm gonna try and get new injectors, but I'd like some input first. Any ideas?

Search my friend! Non starting FCs are a dime a dozen. You could do the ATF trick, or pull/push start.

I did do a search and I've been around RX7's enough (I'm no geius though) to know that them not starting is a common problem. I've gone through the Archive and followed ideas in a few threads, but nothing there (I could find) specifically dealt with what I'm dealing with. What I was hoping for was someone pointing out that I've neglected something fairly common. And I can't do the push/pull start, don't think I didn't try that........it didn't work. I'm just gonna swap out injectors and see if that takes care of it.
