car will not start

2000 maxima will not turn over. For some reason i dont think the injectors are spraying the gas. I have fuel pressure, spark, check engine light is not on, security light is not flashing, i have power at the injectors, and i can start the car with starting fluid. pulled a couple plugs and they seem to look pretty dry. how can i check to see if gas is making it to the injectors?

How much pressure are you getting out of the fuel pump?

If the crankshaft sensor for the flywheel is bad, the car won't start.

Yea, i was thinking that. A lot of the times the aluminum between the sensor and trans swells up due to road salt and actually pushes the sensor out a little. Maybe unbolt it (becareful not to cut the bolt) and clean the surface and put the sensor back in.

Check for Spark, Fuel and Air! You said that you have spark! Are your injectors firing? Check whith Noid light! Got Compression?

Loosen the Fuel Pressure Regulator @ the fuel rail and turn your ignition on only don't start! See if you have high pressure!
