Icon2 LS-Vtec Not starting....???

Alright here is the deal the engine was torn apart last year around this time due to bad seals. The car sat for about 4 and a half years as I traveled the world and it needed an over haul. When I took it apart it was running.

Spec's:
B18A Block
B16B Head
OBD 0
Much Much more random things.

Problem:
With the help of friends we finished putting the whole thing together and in the car. The engine is turning over and getting spark. I am sitting with around 40PSI on my fuel pressure. The crank and cams are at top dead center.

It almost seams like the injectors are not spraying what could cause this? The ECU is also coding for number 6 coolent tempature sensor???? This code comes up before I even try to crank it over. I believe I have everything correct and right.

Let me know what you think could make it not start. If you have any good tips it would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Nic

and if start up then your injectors are locked up

check to see that your plugs are in the right place. make sure the harness is grounded on the block, and make sure you have good grounds on the motor. it sounds like a bad ground. make sure you didnt mistake a coolant sensor plug for something else in the area.

all else fails pull the injectors and givm a run....clean them make sure they work and are not locked up..i would take out the plugs and put them in zip lock bag and soak them it warm water. may help.
