Make sure the CAS is set properly or the engine won't start. Make sure the flapper to the AFM is not stuck. Make sure you have proper fuel pressure. You can also disable the fuel system and try to use a second or two of starter fluid shot into the air intake and see if the car starts briefly before dying out. This will tell you if you at least have proper spark or not.

1. welcome to the board.
2. when you post, please use punctuation. throwing a whole bunch of words together only makes it difficult to read and try to figure out what you're saying. to be honest, if I didn't have to moderate these threads, I would have ignored it and moved on. I don't say that to be mean, i'm saying it because it probably means i'm not the only one that feels that way and that is potential help you've just turned away.
3. if I understand it, you bought the car recently. they told you it had a leaky injector. i'm guessing they installed some sort of cut-off switch. you bought a whole bunch of parts for it. you removed the switch and now the car won't start. is that about it?
first question is what parts had you already changed up until the last time the car ran?
EDIT: Satch posted while I was typing.
