My WTF? car wont start question
Ok cliff notes version, intake manifold had a leak, car was in running shape when i took it off, fixed it reinstalled it, when connecting the battery i let the wrench ground out for a second by accident.
Went to start the car-fuel pump primed and everything looked fine, tuned key just got the clicks (you know the clicks). Disconnected the battery and tried again now the fuel pump isnt even priming. I checked the fuses. WTF am i missing?

did you check to see if your getting spark before the fuel pump quick working? i would also check the fuel pump relay you could have shorted that out. if no spark then i would check the normal dist, cap, rotor. also did you make sure to reconnect the tps and all vacum lines to tb and manifold

The battery may be low on juice. The horn/lights/radio and stuff may work, but the starter doesn't neccesarily get enough power. The starter requires the most power out of anything else on the car. The clicking noise is your starter attempting to turn the engine over. But if you're not cranking over, then it's either that you don't have enough power to the starter to do so (bad starter, bad battery) or your engine is seized and can't be turned over.
