Default ZC wont start.. leaking injectors



Damn this is frustrating, I worked day after day 12+hrs and I try to start it, and it just sits there and turns over trying to start.. I think its either getting no fuel or no spark. Injectors #2 and #3 are leaking fuel all over the place.. how do I fix this?

Do I have my plug wires right?



What am I supposed to do with this.. would it stop the ZC from starting?



And here are the two leaking injectors..


What are some common things that people seem to skip over when doing their swap that keep the engine from starting?

code 7 is throttle position angle (aka TPS) get a voltmeter and adjust your TPS

4.5v for WOT
.5v for closed

also having injectors leaking isnt a good thing either...

Are your injectors still leaking ? If so check the little o ring on them, you could of broke one while putting them in or they could of just been old and worn away.
