Have you checked to see if your heat temp sensor (engine coolant sensor) is good or clean or has good connection

Whats the model of the engine? Also where did you put the "used injectors" from and do you know for sure they work? Have you mixed the injector plugs? Also when you put your key in does it make a sound near the fuel pump?

If your spraying starting fluid in and it starts you know it's a fuel problem not a spark problem right there. Get a inline gauge to check the fuel pressure. Make sure the gas isn't stale and also did you install the fuel pump? I've seen a few times someone says the pump was replaced and never actually looked maybe they didn't install it right? Look to make sure the pick up is hooked up and the line from the pump is hooked to the ext. tank line. Also are you sure the tank has gas? I know dumb questions but sometime things are more simple then you think
