96 accord starting issues
#11
Having fuel in the engine and starting fluid not working will move fuel down the list. I'd dry the spark plugs and use some compressed air to get excess fuel out of the cylinders to eliminate a too rich condition. Fuel is not 100% eliminated, because I'm not sure where you sourced the new injectors. I've seen where counterfit OEM injectors can cause problems. A dead giveaway is if they are dirt cheap on a site like ebay. Were the spark plugs wet when testing with the original injectors?
I'd investigate the distributor setup to check order of the spark plug wires and that you aren't 180° off.
If those check out, then my guess is that you have weak spark from the coil. The LX has an external coil and is easy to replace. If you still have access to the identical car, I'd try swapping the coil.

I would try another set of new spark plugs. If it starts or tries to start before it fuel fouls them it is an over fuel issue...running full rich. Cleaning even new plugs doesn't always work. Make sure the spark plugs are tall enough for the spark plug wires. Some spark plugs are listing to fit your vehicle but are shorter and the spark plug wire boot gets held up by the valve cover. I had that happen with Bosh spark plugs. NGK is what Honda uses.

the spark plugs only come out covered in gas after attempting to start------
Does this happen every time you try to start or only after you tried it with starting fluid
if it happens every time, I would test the TW sensor if it is bad it can cause a very rich mixture thus car won't start
