INtake manifold connectors?

I was putting the intake manifold back on and everything else after checking the vaccum lines and know my car won't start. The motor will crank but it won't turn over. Not only that but none of the interior lights come on or warning lights at the bottom of the dash console! The radio won't turn on either. Did I connect one of the manifold connectors to the wrong thing? It has to be a sensor right? I thought I put the connector on the connection because they only fit on certain plugs. Please help. Thanks guys.

anyone? Fuses look fine, I'm thinking that one of the connectors under the manifold is the culprit.

well lets see there is the aws connector the tps the air intake sensor and not much more that I can remember thats on the uim. None of those could cause your problems. I had the aws dissconected and I accidentally drove with the tps off once. Maybe the engine is flooded but I'm not sure what's going on with the lights and radio. To unflood the engine just put in some ATF fluid. You can try doing it using the nipple on the uim for the boost gauge if you can figure out a way to get it in there. Just put a few table spoons in there.

good luck post more info

The motor will crank but not turn over? You I assume that you just mean it DOES turn over, but won't start? Maybe a relay to the ignition switch? You checked the fuses under the dash...what about under the hood?

Sorry I meant it turns over but won't start. I checked the fuse box but I will recheck it. I don't think it's flooded, it ran ok before I took the manifold off.
