Wont start after head gasket replacement.

Has spark, timing is right, spark plugs smell like gas...can't figure it out.

I read somewhere that maybe the intake manifold grounding could be off. I don't remember connecting this but i also don't remember where it goes or what it looks like.

Any suggestions?

 

No fuel underneath. Rail is installed properly. Did not check coil ut I will tomorrow. Sparks are damp with gas so I assume I'm getting gas in there. I'm not sure what turns over means but when I hit the starter it seems to struggle and dies. I've read something about the intake manifold ground from the wiring harness may have something to do with it but I don't have any diagrams that reflect this specific wire. Its a small circular metal piece that sits in the center of the harness in the intake manifold. I don't have it connected to anything because I wasn't sure.

 

Yes it looks like when i hit he ignition it sort of sputters and dies. Is there a wire diagram? just to make surr i have everything plugged in correctly.

This wasn't connected when I was looking behind the manifold. Must of been hidden in the wire harness while I was installing everything. Is this the grounding for the intake manifold? If so where does it go? It looks like ti seperates into twodifferent pieces but connected to the same wire.

 

Alright so I tested a few things since I've been in the garage. I went ahead and jumped the fuel pump wire in the diagnostic console to check it out. I hear pumping noises from the pump and feel pressure on the fuel line so that checks out. I also tried to pull up a diagnostic code but the CEL just blinks over and over in the same fashion. One blink I assume.

I picked up a can of starter fluid though I'm a bit afraid to use it. I assume I just open the thottle body via the acceleration pedal and spray it in there for a few seconds then start the car? Maybe that would rule out a fuel issue if it does.

 

Could you clarify it causing a no fuel issue?

 

Found out the issue. Timing was off. Redid the timing and she fired up but now I have another problem.

The car lacks any sort of power. I could barely climb back to my driveway after. Also I have heavy white exhaust when I rev the engine though it could be just leftover from the hg replacement. Oil and coolant has been changed already.
