Got spark Wont start?

G'day,

I have a 1998 Liiberty Heritage 2.5 dohc

Another head gasket has gone again so i bought a wreck just for the engine and the rest has been well striped out already its been hit in the front and air bags deployed. it was a gamble because the timing belt was off but i lined it all back up and it turned over sweet!, i could not get it to fire but i sprayed a fair bit of carby cleaner down the throttle body and it started up and seemed to run fine for a good few seconds

I found even the fuel pump was gone so i swapped it with the one out of my car and got fuel presure. i dont think it has any injector pulse as it wont start and the plugs seem dry. I tried starting in it with areostart down the throttle body again but it doest want to know about it now

Summary:

-turns over
-Definatly has spark
-Plugs seem dry
-air bags deployed
-has no instrument cluster

any ideas as to why it wont start and run???

thanks

Running.

Either takes ages for fuel to get up to and thru the injectors or ages to burn all the carby cleaner, areostart and petrol tipped down the tthrtle body

does it keep running after its started via aerostart/fuel? could be a fuel regulator
