Default 1995 camaro will not start

Im new to the site , so if this post is misplaced, forgive me. I bought a 1995 camaro with a 3.4l engine. The car was bought to transplant the drive line into a 1970 opel. The car had ben rolled and was totaled. It has no key , so I bought a 15 piece resistor pack from ebay to bypass the vats system. I figured out which resistor to use with the help of info from shbox.com. At first the engine was locked up. This didnt surprise me cause the car had rolled. I pulled the plugs and found one cylinder full of oil. I turned the engine over and got all of the oil out of the cylinders.I can hear the fuel pump running and know it is firing. I do not know if the injectors are firing. I can spray fuel into the air cleaner box and it will try to start.I do not have a fuel pressure tester. How can I verify I am actually getting fuel to the injectors and the injectors are firing?If someone has info, please send me a pm or email me at alvaradoguy2002@yahoo.com.I am held up and cant go any further on the project until I get the engine running. I wanna verify it is a sound motor before I pull it out.

theres a little valve where you hook the fuel pressure gauge to, its like a tire vave, you push it in and fuel should come squirting out. the other thing is the injectors may not be firing. you need a noid light to see if the computer is sending a signal to the injectors to fire.

I hooked up the noid lite and the injectors are firing, at least the one I tested is firing. Im also getting fuel pressure. The car had set for a year or so and I figured out the gas was bad. I drained the tank and put in fresh gas. Now it trys to start, but wont continue running. It sounds like it is out of gas. I put 5 gallons of fresh gas in, so I know it has fuel.Any ideas?

see if you can get the parts store to lend you a fuel pressure gauge. could be the pressure is to low. other than that the plugs could be fouled. what they look like.
