Do these tests in this order until you get to the one that fails.

Turn the key ON. You should hear a relay click and then a second 
click about 1 second later.

   Yes, both Relays comes on and clicks also fuel pump comes on then stops.

Turn the key ON and go to the engine. Press the throttle down while 
you listen. You should hear a series of injector clicks as the 
throttle opens but not as it closes.

   Yes, series of clicks from injectors hear from right side only.

Loosen the distributor clamp and pull the distributor up about 1 cm. 
Remove the dist cap. Disconnect the green wire from the coil. Turn 
the key ON. As you rotate the dist rotor, round and round CW, you 
should hear injectors click about every half turn.
    
    Yes, heard and felt injectors clicking while cw dist rotor, both sides.
Note: As I disconnected green wire from coil to dist with key on, slight
sparking and the fuel pressure regulator was whining that high pitch getting
higher and higher until it stopped. You could feel the fuel pressure
regulator vibrating.

Still no start.
