Jake,
I really appreciate you taking the time to help me like this.I will try everything you said first thing in the morning and I will definatly get back with you on the resultes.
Guys I really do want to thank all of yall for everything.
If I actually get this vette running I will probably never speak with any of you again due to a heart attack.
THANKS

BTW, the digital volt meter will come in handy if we end up having to check injector resistance, MAF wire voltages, etc.
It's a nice tool to have because so much of proper engine running depends on proper voltages and resistance.

Are you positive you put the right injector harness on the right side of the car... as in 1 color set of wires is for the right bank the other for the left bank... if you cross that wiring up then you fire the injectors at the wrong times.. also check all plugs as stated before...Also Check your oil>>>smell it for GAS...if your burning your eyes your probably washing down cylinders..
When doing the above test you must clamp off the fuel line going back to the tank after you turn the car off. This isolates the fuel pump in the tank which can leak down also. Then all you are watching is the fuel rail and injector pressure. You can use a pair of needle nose vise-grips on the rubber part of the return fuel line. Good luck.
