Guys I need some help.. I stored my protege over the winter but I made the mistake of not filling up the tank till dec 2014. In Dec I topped it off with winter gas and added fuel stabilizer to the tank. I'm trying to start the car now and its not starting..
I've redone my haltech wiring, checked for spark(its there), and listened to the fuel pump with a stethoscope (I can hear the motor or w.e starting in the fuel sending unit while cranking), checked voltage on all inj wires (11.6-11.8 on all 4 while cranking for 3 secs), checked voltage on fuel pump harness and it gets 11v to the gas light wire and 11.6v on the main thick red wire.

So after replacing the pump, fuses and relay I knew that fuel was getting delivered to my feed line. So the pump, hard lines and feed are working properly.
I wanted to test my fuel rail and injectors so I did the fallowing..
Replaced the injectors first on the protege.. no start
Then I replaced the fuel rail.. no start
Removed one injector and cranked to see if fuel was flowing out of the rail. it did into the intake mani/spilled I'm guessing into the combustion chamber. Reinstalled the injector and started to crank then it almost started.
So its confirmed that injectors aren't opening when I crank the car. I tested the injector wires and they all read between 11.6v-11.8v when cranking.
I'm stumped now.. do you guys have any ideas as to what's causing the injectors not to open?
