I think you would need to rule that out first. If it stops it running I don’t know. These things have all sorts of ref points if it doesn’t know #1 has fired it may not fire the rest ( thinking out loud)

Had a problem getting my 96 started recently, I had everything except fuel pressure. I gave it a squirt of easy start and it ran so I knew everything else was good, for me I now need a new pump. (And whatever comes next)
You sound like you have everything, but you also have a fault. Give it a little squirt and see

Double check your HT leads in order, might sound silly but

Good luck

If it's cranking over then it's not the immobiliser.

Check the crank sensor for damage & signal.

I have seen this before, many times, & a few of them was down to the becm.

Can you tell me the numbers on the sticker on the becm, It's probably a AMR & possibly under 6000. There is also a V. number. Can you pass that as well.

Sort out the known faults first. Injector loom does sound plausible. The wires are thin and get brittle with the age and heat.
