Will Not Start

Hey guys, I finished the vac line job, and had the car running fine. Noticed I forgot the gasket under the primary rail so I pulled the UIM and solenoid rack back out. Once I had the new gasket in and the car reassembled, I charged the battery and the car turned over just fine, but did not start. Help? Keep in mind it idled fine before I pulled the car back apart to put the gasket in. Did I forget something? car has new plugs, wires, oil injectors, regrounded, new vac lines, new coolant lines...etc.

Retrace all your steps and check everything you may have touched. It could be a plug not connected sufficiently or a wire that may have broken off. Check the vacuum diagram to make sure everything (to include the solenoids) is installed correctly. These cars are old and all the bits that make them run are brittle. If you want to try to pinpoint where to look, pull your plugs and see 1) if they are fouled and 2) if you are getting good spark. If they are sparking and are dry, your injectors may not be connected correctly. You didn't remove the CAS connectors did you. They are easily switched.

Do you have spark and fuel pressure? Mix up an fuel line?
