Replaced fuel lines, now injectors won't pulse?

Replaced fuel lines, now injectors won't pulse?
My daughter was given a 2001 Accord EX 4 cylinder ULEV automatic in need of some work. I replaced a broken half shaft, replaced the battery and drove it around the block until the fuel lines let go. I proceeded to replace all three lines, front to back, and now it will not start.
I have confirmed that the lines are plumbed properly. The pump is working.
A timing light tells me I have spark.
It will run briefly with starting fluid. The injectors are not firing, and the plugs are dry.
I have checked grounds with no resistance between the battery and any point on the engine. Fuel pump is priming. Tried a new MAP sensor (returned the original after it wouldn't start with the new one). After removing the plug on the injectors, I had 12v on one side (black/yellow wire?) and no voltage or ground on the other. No difference while the engine is cranking, either.
I also bought a OBD2 scanner but I'm not yet familiar with it. I'm getting a P1166 code but there are flashing icons- CAT, EVA, O2S and EGR. Not sure what this is telling me.
I may need to let go of the possible connection of replacing the fuel lines to having a no-start condition. I can't see what I may have damaged while replacing fuel lines. What sensors do the fuel injectors rely on to pulse?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Mitch

Re: Replaced fuel lines, now injectors won't pulse?
Plugs firing? Rpm signal?Immobilizer flashing?Cam signal?
There should be no reason that you replacing the fuel lines will cause a no start.
But the reasons why are varied, and likely greater than you're capable of diagnosing.
Take it to a shop.
