I had a wreck but did not damage engine it sat for about a year. I boast the car off it had a light mist took the battery to get it checked it was bad. I changed the battery and now it will not start. I am getting all the gas to engine when I put starter gas and it cranks and goes dead without it. It just turns over. It is getting good fuel pressure.

Make sure you have good compression and that there is good ignition spark at all cylinders, if the car has been cranking you may have flooded it as the injectors will pulse if that side of the system is ok, so look for wet spark plugs, good spark and compression's are ok first.
