Check the obvious mate, is there a spark? is there fuel to the injectors? Then come back, cant really help till then.

slacken the banjo bolts on the top of the metering head and turn the car over, fuel should spray out, or take one of the injectors out and do the same (really if it's spraying when you loosen the banjo's it should be getting to the injectors anyway).
