I installed new valve cover gaskets and tried to make the valve covers look pretty by cleaning and waxing them. Anyway, after too long I got it all back together and it doesn't start.
Anyone have any ideas? Does the ECU not recognize the injectors? With the new fuel hoses does it just take a while for the fuel pump to get fuel back up inside the intake/injectors? What should I do? Thanks.

Yeah, reset the ECM and then try again. I also had a hell of a problem getting my injectors to seat into the fuel rail properly. If yours are seated incorrectly they will be dumping fuel into the leaking cylinder(s) while leaving the other cylinders starved (all fuel pressure drains out through the leaky O-ring). A good way to tell if you have this problem is to cycle your key twice to trigger your fuel pump and then crank it over while holding the accellerator about 2/3 open. It will start after cranking several times if this is your problem (to verify make sure you don't hear any vacuum leaks). If not, check the vacuum hose at the passenger side lower corner of you upper intake. These are the things that I had the most problems with and I hope they help you as well.
