Unhappy escort rst knackered fuel unit?????

after my escort decided to pop the oil cap off the other day and empty its guts over the engine bay.
so filled her back up (after an embarassing drive in the recovery truck haha)
and the little swine wont start!!!
ive now checked the following:

1. getting a spark to the plugs
2. getting oil pressure
3. engine turns over nice and freely
4. fuel is coming through the filter and to the injection unit
5. for some reason fuel is going to the Cold Start injector
6. absolutely ZERO fuel is coming through any of my injectors

anyone had any similar problems??????
any help is welcome as i am literally about to go bald by pulling hair out here

yeah i was thinking air lock but even after bleeding everything through (and i mean everything i smell like a shell oil representative the now) i still cant get any fuel.

weird thing is the module still opens up to the 5th injector but not to the main 4??

going to phone an old mechanic tomorrow and see if i have any joys with it haha

ahl let you know if i get anywhere
