strange noises are normal
Yes, you should be able to see the fuel spray as the engine turns over. If you do not have fuel spray, you first need to check all your fuses. There is a fuse for the computer as well as for the injectors. From there, Check your fuel pressure (have to get a inline one to go where your fuel filter goes). If its to spec, change your distributor to a known good one. If you have fuel pressure and your fuses are good, and still no fuel, the pickup coil inside the distributor is probably bad and its a major PITA to change, you have to take the gear off and pull the distributor shaft out. Easier to put a whole distributor in it. If you have spark on one plug, the ignition module is working. If you have no fuel pressure, or little pressure that falls quickly after the pump goes off, the fuel pressure regulator may be to blame, but more commonly, the rubber line between the pump and the pickup in the gas tank has degraded or come off, and is leaking fuel back into the fuel tank. Cheap fix, but a pretty involved one. If you can't find a fuel pressure tester, taking the line off the filter and turning the key on would verify if you have any fuel flow at all.
