Check the wire connector on the backside of the waterpump housing. If that's good, follow the guide in the FSM.

trochoid is right on the fsm. the connector he is taking about is the coolant temp switch. it has a green plug connecting to it and the plug looks like a fuel injector plug. i would also look at the afm and make sure its plugged in.

you also may want to make sure the engine is not flooded.
