Your car is probably not starting because it's not getting enough fuel.

Try turning the key to start for a moment, just enough to trip the fuel pump relay to trigger the main pump, and let it go. Do this 2 or 3 times. Then try and start the car.

If that helps, your fuel accumulator is probably toast.

Your pre-pump and/or pickup screen and hose may also be toast, requiring you to keep your tank more than 1/2 full for optimum results.

Lots of things could have gone wrong, but you really should do two things:

STOP PUTTING ETHER IN THE ENGINE

and then invest the money in a good repair manual. The Bentley manual is about $40 (or less depending on whom you buy it from), and well worth the money. Yes, it only goes back to 83.. but the turbos had a very similar K-Jet setup.
