Default STI v4 not starting

Hello Guys,

Bit of historic on my car. I dont use it daily, currently doing a house renovation and car sat for 3 month and now it wont start. car is stock except for down pipe, air filter, 3 port boost and running a link g4x ecu.

Test i have done so far

1. No ecu fault, i sent a log to someone at link and they said all is good. Triggers are good etc.

2. I did an ignition test via the ecu and while cranking and i am getting spark on all 4 cylinders - If the triggers are ok then would that mean that the crankshaft sensor is fine?

3. I replaced the fuel filter, I checked for fuel before and after the fuel filter and I am getting fuel - fuel pump priming when I turn key to ACC

4. I tried to do an injector test via the ecu but i could not hear anything distinctive - so I am unsure if they are stuck closed, is it hard to pull the injectors out? what kind of test i can do?

5. I tried spraying fuel in the intake and the car sounded like it wanted to start.

6. Timing, I am not sure what to check that and since car wanted to start with fuel in the intake, can I rule this one out?

its currently pointing to a fueling problem

thank you guys
