that does make sense, i will try that when i get back to the shop tomorrow. but if it doesnt start then im guessing there is a clog. if there is could it just be on in my fuel rail or would it be my injectors? the injectors just dont make sense since it started on starter fluid.

The starter fluid doesn't find its way into the engine via the injectors but follows the same path the air would.

Hmm so could there be a way to attach an air fitting to my fuel line and possibly blow pressure through the system and blow out the clog? Or should I just disassemble and clean?

If you check to see if fuel is coming out of the return line then that could suggest that the injectors (at least primaries) are clogged.

And your primary injectors just may not be firing as opposed to being clogged. There are 4 Light Green wires grouped together at the ECU. Light Green wire and Light Green/Black wire are for the primary injectors. W/key to on the voltage should read 12 volts. W/key to start the voltage should drop to about half of that if the ECU were trying to fire these injectors.
