Formally, the number 1 cylinder is the cylinder that is "top-dead center to fire" when the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft gears are aligned.
To make it easier, the cylinder numbers are often stamped into the intake manifold, usually right next to the intake port, and also in a picture of all cylinders someplace on the manifold. It is also often on the EPA emissions sticker.
In an inline engine, number one is usually in the front, nearest the water pump.
4 or 6 cylinder straight blocks No. 1 is always the first one next to the pulleys. On a V block, if you look down at the top of the engine, No. 1 will be slightly forward. It can be on either side of the motor, but most likely on the drivers side.

Along with above, you could also have a bad coil pack firing off too.

Sounds like the timing is off. When looking at the distributor cap right next to it should be 2 wires with a plug at the end of it. Unplug it and start the car then check your timing . Make sure you mark the crank 10 degrees BTDC. You can bump it to 14 degrees BTDC if you like to gain 10 extra hp. After timing is set turn off car plug spout back in to the 2 wire outlet.(You have to unplug the 2wires in order to time a 5.0 the 2 wires control vaccum)
BTDC-(Before Top Dead Center)

You have a 2.0L or 2.5L, i have directions and image of process in a pdf format can email you if like, but need to know witch motor and email address to send info

10 DEGREES BEFORE TDC WITH SPOUT CONNECTOR DISCONNECTED , I THINK THAT ON THAT MODEL THE CONNECTOR WAS LOCATED IN THE WIRING HARNESS AT THE DISTRIBUTUR CONNECTOR HAS YELLOW WIRES

it will run on a either spray without a spark but not not petrol ,now without my greasy hands under the bonnet i would ask you as you obviously can do a bit yourself to check for a spark before you go any further ,pull the centre lead out of the distributor cap and then crank engine and see if you get a spark ,the nice fat juicy blue one ,if a weak yellow spark then a least you know what your up against either a weak coil or a crank sensor or what i would go for and thats the ignition module first.Now if it was the mass iair flow then i would expect it to run but not rev up ,if it was the flow meter valve on the throttle body then i would have expected it to run with petrol sprayed into intake like you have done but to only run on either leads me to suspect the strength of the spark .Anyway dinner is served and dearly beloved is shouting *'¡?? so i had better go ,best of british with it
