Default Car won't start?

I have everything set up and the car will only start with fluid, it's like the injectors aren't firing. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? I'm so excited that it's so close to being done.

VATS maybe? Have you checked if the injectors and coil packs are getting power?

Nope, I haven't. I just realized I dont have a mass sensor, guessing that would cause it not to start?

Could be clogged injectors. How long has the engine been sitting? Soaking them in Seafoam will usually do a good job of cleaning them. Just my $0.02

I assume it is getting fuel to the rails? If it was VATS it should still run for a few seconds just won't kick the fuel pump back on after priming. Have you checked your power to the injectors? The mass air will not keep it from starting but will prolly make it run like ****.
