Cranks but won't start

Well, I got everything back together.

Cranks but won't start. Fuel EVERYWHERE in the engine bay and on the ground. It's leaking behind the upper intake, the LIM is pooled, and injectors are covered in fuel.

... I need a cigarette.
 


NOT NEAR THE CAR!!!!!! DUMB ASS


are you trying to torch your car? first make sure that your injectors are in properly then make sure the 4 10 mm bolts are tight. sounds like you didnt light up the injectors
 
... It was a joke. Calm yourself.

Messed with some stuff. Car started and died. Just Cranks again. It wants to start.

But now I've lost all interior electronics. Chimes, radio, lights, display lighting, etc.

Battery light is staying on, dims upon key removal, but still stays on. (and is the only thing that lights up)
 
check your battery make sure its has a good charge i went through this with mine. What happened is i drained the battery and had to hook up a charger to it then i just let it crank like hell for 5 mins and it worked perfectly
 
I should also mention, the car was apart for 2 months. The battery is new (optima).

Could it be a pissed off pcm because it was drained for so long?

Well there's no doubt now that it's flooded.
 
i had mine with no battery for 4 months and it was fine. your PCM is good just make sure everything is back in order i know it sounds a bit silly but crap does happen you do miss things sometimes. also having your dash apart is not helping your battery you may have enough draw were your cold cranking amps are just below what the car needs
 




Needless to say, it was running a little rough. As soon as I got out of the car I swore a little bit. Turned off the car...

...Then went inside to change my underwear.
 
Where's it spraying fuel from injector at, the rail end or the intake side? I had this issue after my LIM replacement and had to twist and pull the injector a bit to get it to move up into the rail a bit more. At least you found yours before you drove it. I found mine on the way to work when I stopped at a gas station. Smelled fuel and popped the hood to find fuel pooled up on the LIM just boiling away.
 
Yeah, I put new orings on all of them.

One may have slipped off, etc.

I'm gonna wait a few minutes before I turn it on to look again.

The rear exhaust manifold was a little too smoky for me waste any time inspecting, lol.
 


It's spraying out the top of injector 4.

The electronic brake control is going crazy. The car is off and the key is out.

It is clicking in a repeated pattern. Like a Morse code message on repeat.
 
ya know it didnt take me more than 1 hr to get my car running perfectly after I installed everything.



i bet you crushed the fuel injector and thats why its spraying everywhere I did that once so I know what your talking about. on a side note is this your first time doing this? im just wondering
