V6 2.9 sierra, wont start
any help would be much appreciated.
the car has been standing for the last 2 years:
i've changed the battery, plugs, oil, filter, leads, rotor & cap.
emptied the fuel tank and put new petrol in it.
the engine spins over, the plugs have a spark, the fuel is getting as far as the fuel rail but not to the plugs ?????
any quick things to check before i start stripping things down to get to the injectors.
thanks

I had a 2.8 ghia x granada which used to hate starting after it had been left sitting for a while, 2 weeks away on holiday was enough let alone two years 
remove the plugs and tip an aerosol lid/cap full of petrol in each bore replace the plugs and give it a try, it worked for me

irrc all 2.8 were MFI and all 2.9 EFI, so will be different problem.
As yours is EFI I would check for a permanent 12v at each injector, then if that's ok check the pulse from the ecu to each injector is present, power to ecu etc, assuming you've done the silly stuff like checked fuses etc.
