Car wont start...fix

I start off no I do not currently have a problem with my car but from searching and reading the countless other threads I found the fix to my problem and since there are tons of opening questions and hardly any solutions as to what exactly fixed it I figured I would post what fixed mine.

My car is a 10AE and like I said it wouldn't start. I checked/changed spark plugs and checked the coils. Read out and tested the fuel pump and resistor. Changed fuel filter (needed to be done anyways). Tested AFM and funky flapper valve and plenty more.

What I found was that when I took off my AFM to read it out I also pulled out my plastic intake. Well the intake had two really big cracks in them that the previous owner found but thought that a little black electrical tape would be good enough to seal it. Well after time the tape wore off, go figure and it started leaking after being measured. So as a temp fix until I make a new one out of aluminum I placed some sealant along the gashes and it starts and runs just fine.
Hopefully this may help someone out and if not thanks for reading.
