Unhappy no go rotary

hey guys I just bought an 86 rx7. After replacing the battery and spark plugs the engine still doesnt start. I put engine starter in the fuel injection and it lasted for one second on. I checked the spark plugs and they were dry. My neighbor said it has no compression but im pretty sure it does because when I remove a spark plug and crank it it blows spark. Any help is appreciated I just want my first rotary to be a good one.

make sure the fuel pump is working, filter, injectors, etc...

if you're not getting fuel, it won't run.

if ....when removing the wires from the plugs ....still sparks! that doesnt mean U have compression.......................
1-Pull the EFI or EGI? fuses out
2-You have to pull the (actual) spark plug out!
3-then crank the engine(FUlly charged battery)
4-listen 4 the Loud (pshh-woosh-pftt>>????) sounds
5-if U can count 3 without cuts?Ur Compression is fine(Do One rotor 1st then the other one)
