Default Problems Getting Car Started

Hey guys,

I've been a lurker on these boards for a long time now. A week ago I bought a 2000 GS-R, but now it won't start.

I've done a search on these forums and also on clubintegra.com and tried some of the suggestions to try and get things going but to no avail. I just wanted to see what opinions or suggestions you guys have.

So what is happening is that it is turning over, but not starting. I suspect it is still the stock battery, but theres 13.5Volts running across it and when it was connected to a running car it had about 14.0V.

I've checked the fuel lines, the fuel filter, there is good fuel pressure, all the plugs are sparking. This would mean that the distributor and main relay are fine. However, for how many times I've cranked the car the exhaust pipe should reek of gasoline. This isn't happening though. I suspect its the injectors, something either mechanical or electrical. I've heard that the ECU might not send the signal to the injectors if the battery isn't maintaining a high enough voltage? I've also heard that disconnecting the battery will reset the ECU. I've also tried cranking it for over 20 seconds because someone said that would generate a CEL. Nothing though.

Right now its sitting in the parking lot of my university and I'm at home =(

Any other ideas on what could be wrong? I'm just thinking of getting it towed to a shop and having them look at it...
