Default accord wont start

i just got a 1995 honda accord for free of course it doesn't run so my problem is i have spark i have fuel to fuel block but it won't start it will turn over

so what i have done is drain old gas put new in put new spark plugs in it and i held the spark boot to test for spark it did spark the only thing i can think that could be wrong is injector failure

i was just wondering if i can get some input before i buy new injectors

What can/did the PO tell you about it...meaning was it running and they parked it one day.

Check for weak spark, was it blue or orange?

You can put a meter on the injectors to see if it is getting power. Did you open the butterfly and try spraying carb cleaning inside.

Compression test?

it was running when parked i guess it was sitting for 6 years in garage
the spark was blueish white i did spray some starting fluid in it didn't seem to do anything.

i so next thing to check is compression and injectors

Well if you introduced a fuel source and it did not start, then I personally would not worry about testing injectors......

Check all the wires, might as well pull the plugs and replace or clean.
