Default cranks but does not turn on
I had a cracked manifold so took everything that is necessary to remove so when I installed it back together it would not turn on only cranks.It was working fine before.

Mine was cranking but wouldn't start, I unplugged the cps and plugged it back in, now it cranks fine. I would go through the sensor connecters and make sure they're plugged in tight, make sure your getting fuel to the rail.

I'm thinking that could be my problem but yes its plugged in correctly. I think I might have damaged it by moving the wires around and might have over extended.
