Any codes set, run a scan as not all codes will set a check light, does it try and fire? Any backfireing? Any other symptoms that you can add here?

I hooked up my scantool no codes, it just cranks, I did notice a ground wire that is on the fire wall that is broke but can't find where it connects to around or on motor, I've tried everything I can think of and no luck on getting it to start, I have the radiator out, I had it in before so I'm not sure if the 2 sensors at the thermostat housing Will cause it not to start like gm's do.I've depressed the brake and clutch together and separately and still no change made sure battery was full charged.

Bud, run a quick test to see if you are getting an Injector pulse at the injectors themselves.

Throw a test light on one of those injector wires, see if you have a pulse while cranking, something is stopping those guys from firing if you have spark and compression.

There should be some coolant in the block I just drained the radiator and left the hoses in place, I've tried starting fluid with upper cylinder lubricant and it still wouldn't start, ill test the injectors and the coolant sensors

I have power to the injectors and temperature sensor, I found one of the tubes that come off the gas recirculation tube is broke off, not sure if this will affect it from starting and a ground wire that is broke off the fire wall but can't seem to find where it was connected to.

If you're questioning ground connections start by just running some jumper wires everywhere. From the engine to the frame and engine to battery negative. Just to see if that's really the issue. And yes if you have a Tube broken off the EGR valve you will be getting false air into the intake (a vacuum leak). Are the plugs soaking wet? And are the injectors actually pulsing of just power to them, because the ECM grounds the injectors to fire them, so you will still have power but maybe not the pulse from computer.
