85 2.8 not starting, help!

my 85 stalled the other day and i can't get it to start anymore.

it has spark, and the fuel pump works i can hear it turn on, and i checked the pressure and it was at 40. i need to double check since the gauge started leaking (first time i used it, didnt tighten it enough.)

it doesnt smell like its getting fuel and missing though, so i think its still a fuel issue.

is there like a fuse or something that would shut off all the injectors? would the oil pressure switch/sending unit prevent it from starting if it went bad?

im running out of things to check.

Get a mechanics stethiscope or a long screwdriver held against the ear and place it on an injector & turn over the motor. You should hear a distinct ticking noise if they're working.
