Check and make sure you didn't hook up your source and return fuel lines backwards. Been there, done that. I'm sure I'm not alone. :-)

Pull the plugs and crank the engine over fifteen seconds. Should get a fuel mist out of the plug holes. Small danger here, but not unacceptable. No fuel mist? Jumper the yellow check connector on or near the r/h strut tower, turn the key to the on position but do not start the car. Break a connection on the fuel rail and see if it squirts. Talking one of the banjo bolts. Or get a can of starter fluid and squirt in the intake. If car momentarily turns over its probably a fuel issur. If not an electrical/.

Drivers side of the engine bay. The rubber hoses that run from the firewall group of 2 pipes (one fuel supply, other fuel return) to the under EFI assembly of 2 pipes.
