Hi,
I'm in desperate need of some help. I recently decided to replace my rear valve cover gasket due to some oil dripping and burning off of the exhaust. I was extremely careful not to mess anything up like a ground or connector left unhooked.

So I get everything put back together and when I went to start the car, it would just crank and crank but not turn over. When I went to pull trouble codes, I noticed that my check engine light is out completely even when just turning the key to the on position. I checked every single fuse in the car and none are blown. Is there anything you guys can think of? Help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Do you have spark at the plugs? Fuel pressure at the fuel rail? Possibilities::: ignition switch or the computer itself. Can you find (for sure) the fuse for the ECM, and is it good?
