volvo 740 not starting, but cranking. I'm stumped and need help!

Hello everyone who can help. I recently replaced my engine wiring harness, have checked my fuel pumps and pump relay and the spark in my plugs. If I unscrew the bolt holding the metal fuel rail (heading to the injectors) and crank the engine, gas fills up the bottle I put the line into, so I have fuel heading to the injectors. I pulled the plugs and they all throw a good spark. If I put some fuel into the flame trap (I know, stupid idea, but I was getting frustrated), the engine fires, then dies immediately. I removed the radio supresson control relay and resoldered the contacts without any result. After cranking the engine, I pulled the plugs to see if there was fuel in the cylinders, and there was none. So, my engine cranks awesome, theres spark, there's fuel going to the injectors, but none to the cylinders. My thought is that the supression relay is shot or something. Help! Thanks.
John
