So i took my fuel bowl off to replace some hoses and i put it back on and can not get it to start now what can i do to get it started

wait to start light come on?? if not check fuse number 22 i think it is behind your intake, should be a 30amp maxi fuse... controls the fuel bowl heater and idm.

Horible configuration. If the fuel bowl heater takes a **** and blows the fuse, BOOM no IDM.

And if that don't work check your hpop res. If it is low fill with oil and make sure fuel bowl has fuel in it before cranking

Check your fuel bowl wiring harness again and make sure the wiring is in good shape. Fuel does nasty things to wiring insulation causing shorts and such. Again, make sure the IPR is in fact connected. If you have to check the IPR wiring at the fuel bowl harness connector (passenger side of the fuel bowl) to make sure that the IPR coil circuit is not open. Also you may want to fill the fuel bowl with fuel too. Cheers!

stupid thing but is your fuel bowl full???? when i did mine i had to fill it back up manually for it to fire off.... the mechanical pump should be able to fill it then fire but hey never hurts!
