Possible Electrical Issue

[mystery_kid]

ok so start of this week i set out to replace all the coolant hoses below and into the intake manifold

i've done that relatively issue free

finished putting it back together today i go to kick it over and it won't start. the starter goes but that's about it

this is what i have done so far:

checked there is fuel pressure (which i hilariously copped in the face)

checked all the vaccum hoses etc

used new genuine gaskets for both parts of the intake manifold

been over everything with a multi-meter - everything has power; spark plugs, fuel injectors, ignitor box, afm

checked spark plugs - ok (changed them not that long ago)

checked all fuses

i did manage to short out on the starter motor when i was doing up the bolts under the plenum (should had d/c'ed the battery, i know)

so i thought maybe the ecu is fooked, luckily enough i have a spare one from an old project i was going to undertake i plugged it in and it's the same

i tried just starting without any ecu and it's exactly the same as trying to start it with an ecu, starter turns over but there is just no combustion..

even have a video of me trying to kick it over:

any help would be awesome thanks

sounds like youve blown a main fuse when you shorted out your starter

[mystery_kid]

The main fuse looks fine as far as i can see, just like the others. The filament still looks connected.

your battery didn't have enough grunt now you have fouled the plugs...a fully charged battery and some fresh plugs will have you back on the road

nah plugs are fine

i've just been made aware that the fuel lines are on the wrong way lolz fuel out goes through the fpr not the other way around. I'll get onto it tomorrow morning

That would have been my first question.
