    Update...So everything is back together. I crank the engine and it feels like it wants to start but stalls out quickly. When I turned the engine by socket did I have to return it back to top dead center??

    No you don't.

    It sounds like it's not getting fuel or spark is cutting out, time trace down the cause. Make sure it has fuel pressure after it's primed and check all related IGN fuses.

    It might be the fuel..I'm assuming. There's no fuel coming out the regulator when I push in the pin..And the gas pedal feels like the brake pedal.

    if the gas pedal is hard to push you got its cable twisted up or something or hooked up wrong. or if it was getting sticky or hard to push before all this, the cable could be failing inside the housing.

    if you got no fuel coming out the shrader valve your fuel pumps not working.

    what was the work done? you do the lim gaskets and upper intake? if so make sure you didnt forget a plug.

    theres a harness across the front lim, icm to main harness, and the coolant temp harness, the fat square one need to be plugged in for sure.

    open em up make sure the pins are straight still if they are plugged together.

    You know what!!? I have to check that plug out. I don't remember that I plugged it back in now that I think about it. But I don't think that would cause the car not to start.

    it can stop the fuel pump from working for sure. its reading the crank cam and icm so if no crank signal no fuel.

    So I had my mini scanner hooked up...No codes but 4 are incomplete...Cat, O2 sen, O2 htr, and EGR. Question..Does the vacuum line for the transmission and fuel regulator goes on top or bottom tube on throttle body? I forgot to take a pic of that when I took it off 😒

    Ok thanks. I've put in a few patches over the years between regulator and the throttle body so I'll find out.

    new vac line is cheap. like a buck a foot at all parts stores. if you need t's or Y fittings, advance auto has the best selection. the rest got one lousy T and its huge lol

    I have that big lousy T lol. A quick update...I checked the fuses and relays and they were all fine. I tried cranking it for the first time in a few days and it started to sound a lil better and then it shut off. Maybe it was 2 1/2 seconds. I took a pic of the tailpipe after I was long done with trying to start it and saw this:

    Idk what that means and why it's just sitting there.😶

    UPDATE..So I have fuel going to the injectors as I was testing the Schrader valve wrong. I also fixed the accelerator pedal as the throttle body was stuck closed because of carbon and the cold winter. I'm running out of options and patience. Don't know what to check for next...

    If you touched stuff and spilled coolant on stuff, it's going to burn off for a little while.
