Just DON'T use starting fluid, period. This product was made for a completely different system than fuel injection and the problems it will cause are quick and final...just don't do it. If your engine components are at 50%+ condition the car will attempt to start easily, but with ANY issues in the fuel delivery and electrical you will get nothing until it has been serviced/replaced in most cases and using a starting fluid or other methods will net you nothing but trouble.
You need to finalize the actual condition of your injectors, possibly/probably all shot as the early Z's suffer from ethanol issues in the fuel plus bad electrical connections. If there is any green buildup in the connectors that is a huge problem- clean them thoroughly or best, replace them with upgraded connectors. Same with injectors as stated, if they are out of the 10-14 ohm range they are definitely shot. This goes for nearly all of the engine controls and a few other areas that research will show you, best source is the online service manual and it's diagrams and solutions. Many/most of us here with pre-'94 Z32's have gone through this necessary hassle, and are ready to do so if not.
