^x2..took the words right out of my mouth! If you dont have spark, could be as simple as an ignition module.

stupid question...does it have gas in it? Is the spark strong? I would double check all of your connections on the work your just did.

Is this engine cranking over but not starting?

Have you attached a mechanical fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail test port (Schrader valve) and noted the pressure while cranking?

If it's cranking AND you have fuel pressure AND you have spark, it should start. Do you smell raw fuel while trying to start it? Are the spark plugs wet with fuel?

Why were the injectors changed? (Exactly) what fuel injectors are currently installed in this engine?
