Default 87 5000CS intermittent start problem

Ok, so a couple days ago, I started getting this problem. After the car sits for more than 10 minutes, it won't want to start again. It cranks and cranks, and sometimes fires a couple times, but doesn't catch.

I pulled out two of the fuel injectors when i was having this problem, and no fuel was coming out. So could it be a vacuum leak going to the CIS, or is it just a bad CIS? or does it even have anything to do with it.

It is very frustrating, and I have no idea what is going on with it. Most of the time I jumper the fuel pump relay and do the output test to get it to spray fuel in using the cold start valve, and sometimes that works, but not all the time.

And also, in the mornings, or when the engine is cold, it takes forever to start. It will start to fire after about 10 seconds of cranking, and then fire more and more, and then finally catch after about 30 seconds of cranking.

Any and all help if appreciated.

Thanks in advance
