I had a simular problem with a first gen throttle body fuel injectred Escort that was set up to Durby. Some one had cut the wrong wire some where and the fuel injector would not fire, but it did have spark.
To test the injector, just unplug it from the harness and jumper wires to the injector with the car on (pump running) you should beable to see the fuel squirt.
I ended up making my owned stand alone fuel managment. I used one of the 12v timers at my shop that we build for industrail dust collectors. It sends out varible pulse width, I hooked it's output to the injector and ran the pulse duration signal to the car TPS sensor for the higher throttle and used the throttle shut switch for a set idel pulse width. I also used the under voltage signal (dummy light control) from the alternator to tell the system if the motor stalled so it would'nt continue to dump fuel if the motor quit.
It was basicly a Electronic Carb.
Worked great, the car actully made it to a second durby. Still ran after words.
