tried starting the car again yesterday. put good fuel in, still wouldnt fire. sounded like it was trying to pop on 1 cylinder. have great spark on all 4, fuel pump is working fine. when i had the spark plugs out i noticed only the one from cylinder 1 was sooty, others were clean. so i pulled all 4 plugs and held it WOT and cranked it for like 15 secs. went and looked down the spark plug holes at the tops of the pistons, 2,3,4 were almost bone dry, #1 had 1/4 inch of fuel sitting on it. so whats the deal? i checked all the fuel injector connections and theyre good, so is my computer shot? anyone have one?

Do you have power at the injectors. Do you have good fuel pressure?
