1987 240 dl starting/fuel problem 200 1987

My volvo wants to start but it cant. I immediatley tohugh it was the fuel pump so i took it off, tested it, and it worked fine. i plugged it back in but i still wasnt getting fuel to the engine. so i replaced the fuel pump relay. still nothing. then i decided to bypass the relay by ripping up the floor underneath the rear seat and connecting a wire from the fuel pump directly to the fuse board. that got the fuel pump working on its own again but i still wasnt getting any fuel to the engine. so i replaced the fuel line thinking it was probly clogged. so now im getting fuel to the engine but it still will not turn over. im left with the problem lying with the injectors, problem is i dont know a damn thing about injectors. some one please help me this car is curesed or something.

just as another piece of information, when my car broke down it was orignally because the alternator went out. turns out the ground for the alternator "broke" i dont understand how it could just break though. i replaced the wire and happen to have another alternator for the car incase it needs to be replaced. thank you for your support.

    How did you verify that fuel was not getting to the engine? Are you getting spark? Sure the timing belt isn't broken? If you don't have the Bentley book or another manual, best bet would be to get one and work through the diagnostics a bit more methodically. These are pretty complicated systems, and just randomly replacing parts is not a productive approach. Don't ask how I know ...
