When you turn on the key, the "check engine" light should come on. If you have the paperclip in place, it should start to blink.

Fuel in the oil is NOT GOOD!!!
It also means that the gas has washed all oil from the cylinder walls. If you start it you have a good chance of scoring the walls or destroying the rings.
If there is a lot of fuel in the oil or for that matter if you can see or smell it.....just bite the bullet and replace the injectors before you go farther a ruin the engine.

you need to do the things the guys suggested. Check everything carefully. If all else fails, meaning you can't even get a code 12, I would suspect the ECM is shot, for two reasons, it's not communicating and guys have stated over and over again that their cars starting running "pig rich" when their ECMs died........BUT I will say, most every trouble shooting tree in the FSM says the last thing to be replaced is the ECM.
