Hi
Are you getting fuel pressure and spark?
Check grounds look for any wire that may have been left off. Especially the ground near the thermostat housing.
Let me know
Thanks for donate

Check voltage to injectors pink wire also connect Noid Light what are results? Again recheck all connections and grounds. Using VCM original or from replacement engine? Disconnect crank sensor see if it will start.
