86 GXL will not start

Hey folks,

I have a problem. I replaced all my fuel injectors, vacuum/fuel lines, and oil cooler lines. I replaced the water pump and all water hoses. I installed a pulsation dampner ( the primary fuel rail had a banjo plug to bypass the pulsation dampner). Anyway, after all the work I cannot get the car started. I'm getting gas on the plugs but that's it. I'm going to check the spark tomorrow. Does any one have any good ideas to toss this way. Also by installing a pulsation dampner does that mean I have to adjust any thing for spark or gas?

Recheck all your connections for possible vac leaks. Then either do the "Unflooding procedure" or try to pull start the car.

"Also by installing a pulsation dampner does that mean I have to adjust any thing for spark or gas" not if you installed the right one correctly. Fuel on the spark plugs means its flooded, just like J-Rat said, check connections, unflood or push start it.
