Default Help car wont start

I put pace setter lt's last nite and started the car no problem. So this morning i had planned to take it to the muffler shop, so i started the car and no problem starting. On my way to the muffler shop i stopped to put gas. After filling up i try to start the car and wouldn't start. So had to tow the car home. Any ideas?


Thanks

So what all did you unplug for the install? Maybe you melted some wires somewhere?

Still trying to find the problem. I was able to started after i got a jump start because i killed the battery trying to start it. Now it running like crap. I unpluged the pos, all spark plug wires and plugs, coil packs, all 4 o2 sensors, and air stuff.

Well i found the problem yesterday. I guess i forgot to plug my water temp sensor back in. The one that plugs on the head on the driver side. LOL... what a dummy. So i was able to take the car to the muffler shop. Thanks you guys for all your help.
