Non-runner. Injectors not firing

Hi everyone,
Bought myself a non-runner and have been working through the hurdles of issues but have now come to a stop. I have so far:
- new battery- car turns over but doesn’t start.
- replaced the rotten fuel pump, lines and components of the tank.
- sent injectors off to get them refurbed and tested- all good

I am getting fuel all the way up to the fuel rail and I’m getting power to the injectors and spark to the plugs. I suspect the injectors are not firing. I’ve heard talk of pressure sensors and crankshaft position sensor so I am looking to replace those. Anything else I should consider?
Thanks in advance everyone and any advice appreciated :D

It’s a 2.0L manual and 1995 reg :) the distributor and leads were changed to get the car running years ago before I bought it

It’s got the original key with the button fob, I have to press the button on the fob before cranking otherwise it won’t start.

could well be the Dissy then as you still have the oem immobiliser fitted that
kills dissys

Ok thanks I’ll add this to the list, how can I test the dissy before I look to replace it? Also if the factory immobiliser causes issues is there an easy way to bypass it?

There is a write up about how to bypass the dizzy, however where it is can only be accessed by full members, but at £10 per year, it’s a bargain.
Full membership also gets you a discount on 2nd hand parts with some people
