New injectors not working.......need ideas

A month ago I put in a new fuelpump and last week my car started runing rough. I could hear some of the injectors making a loud clacking sound. A quick listen with a stethoscope and I confermend 3 of the injectors were REALLY loud.

I replaced them all with 24lb Accel's (originals are 22). I got her buttoned back up and now I get NO fuel out of them. I've looked at some spark plugs and they are dry. Sprayed some starter fluid on one plug and it sputtered. So I know it's not getting gas.

The pressure is holding steady at 50psi.

Anyone got any ideas??? I've never had to purge a fuel rail, shoud I try that??

NEED IDEAS!!!!

Check your fuses in the fusebox and also check the ecm fuse near the battery (i assume its good if you're getting spark but check anyway.......). Its possible that the solenoid/coils in the accel injectors have a much lower resistance than the stockers, possibly damaging the wiring and/or blowing a fuse.

It ended up being the IAC being stuck. Bad timming I guess.

I have other problems now, but will start a new post for that.

Thanks guys. First thing I did this morning is check the fuses!!!
