could be fuel pressure is bleeding off, does it crank normal, or slow?

that's low, which causes problems too, rubber parts dry rot, seals go bad, solinoids will seize (injectors are really just a solinoid)

what can i do to see if its the injectors when he sold it to me it had just started doing that so he sold it for less he said it was like a sensor that was in back of the distributor can that because the distributor is new. I think its leaking oil from the front seal a guy said it could be that the distributor is just dirty and just to clean it. that maybe it was that

if the opti gets wet it won't work, given the description you gave me I would lean more towards a fuel issue, but it could be taking the distributor a few cranks to get signal. Injectors I would have them cleaned (never hurts) the in tank stuff won't cut it, you need to hook the fuel rail to a machine with cleaner

take it to some one they should have a machine that hooks up to the test port, they disconnect the fuel pump and run the car off the cleaner, works great. It can be done at home but the equipment is more than it's worth
