How could we possibly know why your engine wouldn't start? When your engine won't start, you need to do some diagnostics to find out why. Cranking for 10 minutes is not a smart thing to do. Engines need fuel, air, and spark to start and run. Use a timing light to see if you have spark, use a fuel pressure gauge on the shrader valve at the end of the right fuel rail to see if you have correct fuel pressure (35-42 psi) and if it holds up with the ign off, use a noid light to see if your injectors are being pulsed.
