Get a fuel pressure gauge to see if there is pressure on the rails first off, then I would pull the plugs and turn the engine over see if fuel mist spits out..........

he did not hook something up right, or the timing is off, because he pulled the dizzy out to get the lower intake off

would they have taken the lower out to pull the injectors? i think they have left something unhooked or have not built the pressure up good. ive not really messed with injectors much so im kinda lost.
