I recently pulled my fuel rail, injectors, vac hoses, and associated wiring in an atempt to clean up my engine bay.

I also removed cruise while I was at it.

I put the wires back under the intake manifold, and hooked up the rail and what not. I tried to start the car but it wouldn't fire up.

It cranks strong. Battery voltage is good. Did the FSM injector check and they are getting voltage. It feels like it wants to start but something is missing.

I took out the rail AGAIN and set it on a towel and cranked the motor. No fuel came out of the injectors after about 10 seconds of cranking.

The car was running perfectly hours before I did 'spring cleaning', so this leads me to believe its something stupid, but I can't find it after 3 FULL days.

Thanks,Maeda

Does it sputter like it wants to start? if so check to make sure you didnt reconnect the fuel hoses to the rail swapped.

if thats ok you need to use a noid light and see if the ecm is pulsing the injectors. If it is not you need to determine if you have water or something in your crank angle sensor(located in your distributor). This is the primary input for your injectors.

Thanks nistech but i THINK i got it... the resistors to the injectors failed...

I'm running DSM injectors so the resistors I had in there were the clay ones and while rerouted them they busted.

Thank you!
