Ok Guys, Big update - I woke up this morning and I ran the DTC codes and it pointed towards the map sensor. I then realized I left it disconnected when I cleaned the fuel rail and intake manifold to install the injectors. It turns on and idles fine now.

Big thanks to C5Diag and ~Josh. I couldn't have done this without you both, thanks for your input and suggestions they were very much needed.

Best Regards,
Bobby

It is a 30 dollar injector tester but has very good reviews everywhere. It really saved a lot of time in my opinion for me and allowed me to bench test it with a spare car battery. I can get you more details on it if you like.
