I put her down for some new bits (86.5 gte swapped) intercooler, pipes, nothing major, probably hasnt' been run for 6 weeks now. but now she wont start. I can get her to fire with starting fluid but not for long... what's the checklist of probable culprits? I noticed I am missing a esc fuse... but I'm not sure if I ever had one (86.5) I realize I could do alot of searching and testing for fuel pressure and I will do that if I have to, but I'm looking for an easy answer if I can get one tonight.

Run a jumper from the B+ to the Fp terminal inside your diag box. You should be able to hear the fuel pump running (if its quet enough where you are). Then squezze the soft line portion of the return hose (hard line comes off the FPR, and drops down to where it meets with some soft line) if you feel fuel returning you know you have fuel to the rail. After that its bad signal to the injectors, or plugged injectors.
