i'm sorry the car cranks but wont start? i just read on more forums and they say its fine to run with them so why doesn't it start?

okay so i think it could be a fuse but i check all the fuses and its fine? is there any othere fuse location for something to do with the starting?

Your problem has nothing to do with the pintle caps.

Agreed.

Give us a description of what your mods are, what you've done, management etc. That way we can diagnose the problem with something more then pintle cap...lol.

What all did you touch when messing with your injectors? What you have to control them?

okay i have a full exhuast aem intake and a e60maf with a safc neo with a 255walbro fuel pump

i was switching out the injector so i could get a turbo on. i first decide to take the whole fuel rail off and took two screws out of the fuel rail and start to pull on it only to find out thiers another one thats hard to get to so i put back the other two srews i took out and decided to just remove the injectors. i remove the electrical plugs connected and the remove the stock injectors i broke one of the pintle caps off in the first cylinder closes to the front bumper. the cap fell in the engine block? that not good. i figure it would burn up when i start the car. anywayz i put in the new injectors sr20 370cc injectors. and plug the electrical plugs back in and the brackets that hold the injectors in tight. i pluged the plugs back in and cranked the car. all it does is crank and wont start. i probally should have taken the batter power out. so i was think i blew a fuse? thiers a green box on the driver side by the black barrel thing, i think from a friend of mine said it had to do with starting the car? but thats all i did and when the car wouldn't start with the new sr injectors i put the old ones back in and it still wont start?any help or suggestions
