Verify the TPS is set correctly. Verify the MAF sensor is hooked up. Verify the various temp, coolant, & O2 sensors are hooked up. Verify sparkplugs are installed in the correct order.

Set up code lights. Theres a how to in the archives I believe. This will tell you if you forgot to hook something up(sensors and what not) or if theres a problem with a sensor or your maf.

Thanks for the advice so far. I triple checked the tps, maf, and every single other sensor i have on the vehicle. All my plugs are in the right order. And i do have fuel and oil pressure. But still nothing......

you might want to try push starting it again, sometimes fresh rebuilds need to be run for a few dozen miles before they make enough compression to start on their own

reading through..new engines tend to start hard..crappy for a little bit and alot of adjusting..push start a couple times to break in..it will start eventually on its own..imo..that's what i've read here..
