Ok i did the fix for the pulsation damper and i am pretty sure i did everything right. well my car wont start now, at all it just turns over with no attempt to even start. i tried putting carb cleaner in one of the vacume lines and in the throttle body to see if it would even attempt to start, but nothing. ive double, triple checked every connector everything that could possibly cause this and nothing.i tried taking everything apart and doing it over still nothing. so im stuck, i was wondering if maybe it has to do with my injectors, i was thinking maybe i flooded them out or something and they arent delivering the fuel. i dont know what to do and i need help??? please anyone???and ive tried the egi fuse trick and still nothing.

um.........wut kind of car do u have?

does your car smells like gas? if your engine is flooded pull the egi fuse out and get inside your car floor the pedals and crank it like for 10-15secs then put fuse back and try starting it.....

or is the fuel not getting to the engine?

It's real easy to get the in & out fuel lines swapped when working on the fuel rails.

If they are backwards the FPR acts like a one way check valve.

well i tried the egi fuse trick last night and nothing, ill try it again this morning, oh im sorry i have a 87 n/a se. uhm i really doubt that i got the fuel lines crossed, i dont even see how someone could get the fuel lines crossed? the back end of the primary fuel rails fuel hose goes to the back end of the secondary fuel rail. than there is the front of the primary fuel rail where the pd used to be that line goes to some other line on the block. i dont think i crossed them up. and i dont smell fuel, and this is there is fuel in the rails and lines ive checked, the only think i could think of is if the injectors were messed up when i cleaned them with carb cleaner. could that have done it?

I know you said you double checked everything, but when you started, did you happen to unplug the fuel pump as a step to depressurizing the system?
