What kind of fuel injection? What ignition? It's hard to know just from knowing it's injected. Where is your initial timing? You can typically get away with making sure it's firing at TDC on the compression stroke, then go from there probably. What's your fuel pressure?

What kind of fuel pump are you running? An electric pump should have full pressure as soon as you turn the key to the acc position. We need to know what kind of injectors you have, what the plugs look like when you pull them out after it doesn't start and whether or not it tries to fire at all before we can be much help at all. All the details you can give us will be a huge help.

If this is the first time you have tried to start it with the fast on it you to advance the engine 40deg the put the distributor in pointed at number 1. After you do that make a timing table that reads 40deg and check it with the timing light. You may want to set the fuel pump to prime longer with the key on not running I think mine runs 5 seconds.
