    Are you missing spark or fuel?

    If you have someone that can turn the key for you.. get a 12" piece of vacuum hose and connect it under the SC snout to the lIM. While the motor is cranking spray some quick sprays of brake cleaner into that tube. If the motor starts and runs, you have a fueling issue.

    Check fuel pressure
    Check maf
    Check injectors (194 bulb in an injector pigtail works) to see if you are getting power and ground
    Check for spark (lick fingers and hope for the best)
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    get a 12" piece of vacuum hose and connect it under the SC snout to the lIM. - is that the big elbow or the vaccum "T" ?

    Check fuel pressure - I have pressure at rail (pressure guage)

    Check maf - I unplugged it and tried speed density

    Check injectors (194 bulb in an injector pigtail works) to see if you are getting power and ground - what is a 194 bulb ?

    Check for spark (lick fingers and hope for the best) - I bought and used spark tester

    My gut is telling me this:
    Code:
      it is something electrical that remote start was skinned and pulled on, it either pulled some weird hidden splice apart? or touched car and shorted something?

    A motor needs 4 things to work.

    1. Spark
    2. Fuel
    3. Timing
    4 Compression

    The engine cranks, so the starter works, right?
    You have spark
    Timing is highly unlikely
    Compression..we know it's there
    So you are down to fuel.

    Ed.. nothing against you, but the way you are responding is making me , because you have told me you wrench and fix cars all the time. Yet you are unsure where the vacuum port on the LIM is (small nipple with the T connected to it) and you are running into a small issue here with spark and fuel. Make sure you don't spray cleaner into the TB, it'll might the rotors. A 194 bulb is just that. It's a small bulb labeled 194 (usually in the turn signals) and has two metal wires on it that can be bent out to stuff into the FI connector. If the light flashes..you are getting fuel injector pulse.

    When you tried to fire up w/o the maf connected, did you try using some throttle?
    Do you hear the fuel pump prime?
    You said the plugs were dry? If so..then check fuel injection fuse again.
