No Crank After Injectors

[Mizzle]

Just did new injectors and the car won't crank at all (same as when you don't push in the clutch.)

What did I miss/screw up?

My first guess would be something's not connected...as to what well check all the connections on the harness.

Tap the starter too. Seriously, the wiring in the back... Tap with a hammer.

Will do. I'm a big fan of percussive maintenance, especially after forgetting to connect that hose on the back of the intake after reattaching EVERYTHING. With help, and the bolts out of the manifold, I managed to get it on from underneath.

Note to anyone doing injectors: Remove that fuel rail bracket thingy before even trying, get some kind of heat shield, and use a map gas torch to get it glowing before you waste your time even trying.

Drifted down my driveway to bump start it and now it starts just fine.

Check the trigger wire going to the starter, it can be very finicky on these cars and sometimes needs to be re-done. If that is loose or just not making contact you won't get anything. I circled it in red.
