Okay. That helps. Couple things. What is the history to this? Has it ever started since you've had it or did you get it this way? Next if the injectors have been firing and that amount of starter fluid and the plugs not firing, I am sure the plugs are fouled by now. So we need to keep that in mind because you may fix (or have it fixed) but the plugs are fouled and won't fire.
However, I think the next thing is to check compression if you are not sure what it is as that sounds like it is a possible low compression issue.
If you haven't changed the plugs and are going to do that we should run the compression at the same time.

Just let me know if there is a history to it or when this issue started and we can go from there because it feels like I am missing something on this.
