Ok I just checked my injectors and there was a good spray pattern.
 the guage I use to measure the gass pressure allows the fuel to pass until you need to check pressure
Plugs looked good and clean, I will replace anyway because its time.
Still not even trying to combust at all.

I put in some new gas And It would not start, Checked my fuel pressure at the T and it was 35 psi I pinched the return line and watched it go over 80 before I released it, I checked spark and had it , Checked compression all over 110 psi, I checked voltage at the injectors with a dc voltage detector and saw it pulsing but still the van would not fire, not even try to fire.
