Car ran fine. It had an intake leak; I removed the intake and replaced all the gaskets. It was all back together. now it won't turn over at all. The battery is good, the starter is good, everything is good. The wiring harness is all plugged in and rechecked all of that fuses are all good.

Let's see if the engine will turn over manually. This guide can help, my fear is something when down into the intake port and is now stuck on top of the piston.
