No fuel lines to the engine? Is the entire TPI there?
Put some fuel lines on. Otherwise you would need to get fuel into the system through the TPI to see if it will start. Not a wise way to do it though.

In order for that engine to start and run...the fuel system has to be pressurized AND the computer has to work.
Unless you understand what you are dealing with, all you will do by jury-rigging gas lines that are under 50 psi pressure, is to start a BIG fire.
It takes much more than just getting gas to the engine...its under high pressure and the injectors have to work.

do you want to see if the car will start and run or do you want to drive the car with the fuel lines off?
squirting fuel in the throttle body will allow the car to start and run just like a carburetor engine. it is probably not the safest way but it will work. in order for an internal combustion engine to run you must have 3 things, spark, combustion, and fuel
