Default 95 LX cranking but wont start - listen 2 link

Recently finished a head rebuild on my 95 Accord LX (see my other posts) and car ran for GREAT for 10 minutes or so then died. Car wouldn't re-start unless I let it sit overnight. Then it would only start and run (REALLY rough) for about 8-10 seconds. then die. Now it won't start at all anymore. Seems to me that the engine sounds kinda funny while cranking. Doesn't seem like it is even close to turning over. I have loosened nut on fuel rail and then cranked engine for 3-4secs. Did get fuel coming out. I don't have a connector/adapter that will fit my pressure tester to the testing port on rail.

Take a listen and please give me your feedback.

After a head swap....be sure the main ground (g101) is clean and tight-drivers side of the tb.

Also be sure the map and tps connectors are on the proper sensor. They are the same plug config so they can get plugged into the wrong place.
