Default Fueling Issue

Alright guys, just went to fire my car for the first time since the build. It will crank but won't start. It will run on starting fluid so I have spark. I have pressure at the rail, and the injector connector has 12v with the key on. I pulled half of the rail to see if fuel was spraying from the injectors, and its not. Any ideas what could cause this? The injectors along with everything else were sitting for quite a while. Maybe gummed up? Any help would be appreciated.


EDIT: Its a 347 LS1, I am still using the stock 26lb'ers.

Maybe send your injectors out to be cleaned and flow tested if you are suspect about their function?

Well I used a jumper wire and got the injectors unstuck. Still not firing. I'm wondering if old gas is the culprit. Maybe I don't have spark and it was just dieseling on the starter fluid? Anyone know where the no start checklist can be found? I have googled and searched through forums already.

Figured it out. Its running now. I overlooked the crank sensor when I installed the starter. I never did have spark, and I'm guessing the crank sensor controls the injectors firing as well. I'm just happy it was something stupid.

Good deal, thanks for updating on the fix. That helps us all learn. It makes good sense, but wasn't the first thing to come to mind.
