Yep it cranks. Could there be a lose of air flow that causes the engine to not start?

I dono, i had something like that on a 94 integra, and idle was at 4k Rpms.. (it had all nuts on, but some were loose.) But it started. Any gas leak from I/M?

Got any ground wires going to the IM bolts? Normally you shouldn't.
Got any other loose bolts like on your thermostat housing where your engine harness ground is located?

a loose intake manifold should not cause you not to start, your idle is going to be off and may even jump up and down.

like sql_civic said, check to make sure that your grounds are connected. check to see if you have spark and fuel (turn the motor over w/o the spark plugs in to see if you see a mist of fuel coming out from the spark plug holes). then start looking for blown fuses.
