Troubleshooting...need 2nd opinions

Okay so Im trying to start a low mile rebuild. I used the old injectors from the previous motor (over 100k miles) and it was the secondaries that was used which I placed as the primaries. The secondaries are new 800cc injectors. I also installed the 1.7 retek ecu. I squrit oil into chambers for compression build up and get it started for a while but the motor shakes like crazy so I turn it off. I take out the spark plugs and there is no fuel smell at all. The fuel pump works, compression is good, sparks are there, and there is fuel pressure. Now the motor does not want to start so I spray starter fluid and it wants to start but wont.

So I suspect the primary injectors are clogged. What do you guys think? Also I was thinking of taking out the primary fuel rail and watch to see if any fuel is getting injected out. How else should I check to see if the injectors are good? Thanks.

If your referring to the egi inj fuse then its ok, not blown. The only fuse that blows is the meter fuse but Ill take care of that later. Gonna check all connectors and ground once more. Also Icemark, I have a high pitch buzzer that stays on once the key is set to on, any ideas? Thanks for replying and trying to help out so far.

Buzzer indicates low oil, or low coolant
