I GOT IT WORKING!!

so the intake manifold WAS the issue.

got a new one and all is well now.

we DID have some issues with the fuel rack sitting right with the injectors. we had all the injectors sitting in the manifold and then put the rack on then, lined them up and after some convincing, they were all seated and clipped.

then we spent 10 minutes turning her over, little did we know that an O-ring on the injector was torn spraying fuel all over the motor. we pulled a plug to make sure that there wasn't any more coolant in the cylinder. the plug wire arched and lit the fuel on fire. that was fun.

after that was put out, we got the o-rings replaced and used some boot lube to let them slide in easily to the fuel rack and clipped them in place. then sunk down the injectors into the manifold, that worked much better.

we turned over the car again for a few minutes and she finally started.

10 minutes of steam and a drive around the block and she ran fine.

changed the oil this morning and had an injector cleaning done went to Walmart and got an oil change and injector cleaning for $45 they were running a special.

so all is well i believe.

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING GUYS!!
