Did you bleed the injector lines correctly? Any air at all in the lines will prevent the engine from running. The air will simply compress and the injectors will not pop.

On the contrary, if you have enough air in the lines then no fuel will be pumped into them. It just pulses back and forth. What you need to is have somebody crank the engine while you crack each line at the injector to bleed the air out. As you work each one and tighten the line that cylinder should start running. Once you have 3 or 4 running the engine will probably run on it's own. Then you can finish bleeding the rest of the lines. Be careful and wear some good gloves because the fuel is under very high pressure and it can cut your skin very easily.

I don't know how deeply you went into the reseal but it's possible you got something wrong internally but if the injector lines are pulsing fuel I would discount that theory.

You need to fill out your signature so we know what you're driving and what mods you've done. Also it's helpful to know what city you live in.

When putting the top back on the IP did your back out your fuel screw, or use some fishing line to hold the throttle fulcrum back and out of the way? If you did not then you most likely damaged the fulcrum and the truck will not start due to this.

Didn't see it, but did you manually fill the fuel filter prior to "cranking" ?? Be wary cranking these starters for long periods of time. You will burn them out, especially if they're original to the truck. 25 year old starters don't like being abused, considering they barely move to get these marvels of engineering running.


Look up indexing the throttle lever as well. You can get some really difficult starting issues if it's indexed 1 tooth off.
