Default update...need more help

ok i changed all the plugs because the old ones were really fouled.....even after we held the revs around 4-5k for 30 seconds.....the car is DUMPING fuel....my fuel pressure is at 60psi....i used 99 injectors which are 26 lb's i believe (stock 98's are 28lbs i believe as well)....once you start the car the car sounds normal but shuts right off....i have my fans wired to a switch so both fans come on high when i turn them on....i was having an issue where i would have to play with the wires to get them on (never had time to fix them)....today when i tryed to start the car after the new plugs i would hear the fans come on then when the motor shut off them would turn off. is it possible i have a short or a exposed wire that would keep the car from running or make it dump fuel?

How about explaining a bit, my friend. No one on this site learns how to fix things by doing "a few different things".

me and a buddy pulled the intake mani to check it and hes never done it before so when we were putting it back on i was watching both sides trying to rush it before it got dark and the knock sensor wires got caught by one of the ports making a huge vaccuum leak....then we found low fuel pressure. the line that comes off the walbro 255 that connects to the line that goes to the front of the car came half way off....fixed that...noticed there was a huge vaccuum leak then fixed that. i also had to change a few little things here and there. it would of been fixed a lot quicker if the car would of just threw a damn DTC lol.
