should be, the fuel pump and everything is priming when i turn the key...i dont really smell fuel though after trying to crank it over. i worked on the thing for almost 10hrs yesterday finishing it up, i got sick of looking at it, ill try more today.

Make sure your injectors are plugged in all the way. This happened to a friend of mine, the prongs on the injector were bent.

double check your wiring that is probably where it is. you can get a noid light that plugs into fuel injector plug and lights up when the ecu is telling it to fire.
