HELP!!!Can't start my Z06!!!???
I pulled the injector covers and disconnected the little hose by the brake booster hose to get them off easier on the driver side and now it doesn't wanna start??? It made a sound as if it had pressure.I've pulled off the battery ground cable and I'm letting it sit for a minute to see if the cpu resets. Please help !!!

what did you do that required you to pull the plastic valve covers off?
when a car won't start its always either one of two things, fuel or spark. first question is, is the car cranking and just not starting, or not even cranking at all?
when you put the key in the ignition and turn it ON you should hear the fuel pump prime for a couple seconds... do you?

after closer inspection it looks to run along side the fuel hose and a third hose that appears to be a fuel return hose.I really don't wanna take the car to the dealership if I can figure it out myself.I know its gotta be something very simple

Something isn't right dude.
Something weird. Dumb question,...is the clutch in ALL The way? The car should turb over, regardless of what you just did. There is NOTHING up top that would allow the car NOT to start, unless you pulled the ground strap off the back of the head, which you couldn't do, unless you actually took a 15mm wrench, and removed the bolt. Did you? No, you didn't.
So,..then i'd go to the vaccm/brake booster.
Are you familiar with that? There should be a 3/4inch black hose that goes from the back of the manifold to the brake booster. This line, should always be attached. Is it?
Wish I could help you more man but,...i think it's got to be something simple.
Try this....remove BOTH of your battery cables,..and touch the two cables(positive and negative) together(just the cables)....for 15-20 seconds..... this will clear all codes, and all faults...typically.
I know these cars wel....i'm racking my brain to see if there is something I missed.
Oh,./.maybe the throttlebody cables/wires.....connector..etc.
Check that.... check on the driver side cylinder head, by the front of the head,...close to the sparkplug ebtry,...do you see a sensor?... thats an coolant temp sensor..... did that get unplugged?
maybe .somehow,...you removed a coilpack harness...or both?
Did you touch something to the alternator and cause some sparks? Something? Anything?
If non of this above helps.... sorry dude.

I'll try to reset by touching the cables after diconnecting them cus the lil brain ain't letting me do anything I also found out that the other side of that little hose goes to the back of the engine.the brake booster is connected and all the coil packs and everything else seems to be in order
