Re: HELP PLEASE
well... if it ran before you did the job & wont start now, then you can be pretty sure it will be some thing very simple & possibly so obvious that you are looking straight past it.
For my money it will be an electrical connection.
At the rear of the inlet manifold there is a connector that is easy to miss & leave un-connected.
its wiring is screwed to the rear right of the manifold (below left of the jump-start connection on the bulkhead) & is a real bitch to see & remove ....
I'm not sure what it is... maybe a cam or crank sensor... this could potentially stop it re-starting...
Have you missed this one ?
