Doug, Chad is correct. I have not done this procedure on my 16V as my car is still in the assembly stage. But I have done this on my other cars and the process is similar on most CIS cars. (Digifant and Motronic may be different) What the Bentley instructed for my 8V was first remove injectors and place each individual injector into seperate containers. This allows you to visably monitor flow and volume. Then I remove the Fuel Pump relay from the Fuse Box. It instructs to create a jumper wire with a 15A fuse inline. I then jumped posts #30 and #87 where the fuel pump relay plugs in. (This may be different #s on the 16V pump relay)
I then removed the boot above the air box to expose the air plate. I then turn the key in the ignition to the "ON" position. With the jumper in place, the fuel pump(s) will run continuously. Then take a magnet and place it on the exposed air plate. Using the magnet as a handle, slowly lift the plate. This should open the fuel distributor and fuel should begin flowing to each individual injector. With individual injectors in seperate cups, it serves to bleed the fuel system of any air. Fuel leaks will also become evident if they are present. Finally, it becomes obvious which injectors were good and which ones were faulty. It took approximately 5 minutes for all of my injectors to finally spray equally. That is how long it took to fully purge my system of air. If none of the above happens, then there is no fuel pressure at the fuel distributor. You will need to look elsewhere for the problem. If that is the case, it could be clogged lines and/or fuel filter. It could also be wiring faults to your fuel pump.

I have changed the in-tank fuel pump and when engaging the key, the pump will run for a few seconds and turn off. Once I start cranking, I am getting no fuel to the injectors. I have loosened the nuts on the injector lines to verify I am not getting any fuel to the injectors. With my Bentley MIA, what component tells the fuel distributor to fire? I still need to verify that the fuel pump is actually pumping fuel up front, but I am sure it is. Anybody else have this sort of problem? I have spark and compression, just no fuel.
