And are you referring to the injector seals?

I will post em in a couple hours. I did change those but i meant the gaskets to the oil pan, the intake.. etc

If you installed new injectors you should have already replaced the seals as well. 

Why did you have to install new gaskets? Did you have the engine torn apart, did you have vacuum leaks? 

What prompted you to do this work if it was running before? Need more info from you.

 

Just noticed your other post. So you had an oil leak....so I understand the pan gasket.

Intake gasket...why?

What is etc.? Need to know what gaskets you changed.

The temp and thermostat sensors were in a plug together with the egr. Ill try pluging that in maybe thats why it isn’t starting?

Does it smell like gasoline?  If the coolant temperature sensor is unplugged the ECU will add lots of extra fuel.  It might be flooding.

"It cranks and if i give it gas it tries to turn on but wont stay on."

This is what I was hoping he would tell us, whether it is unplugged or not

I connected the temperature sensor back.. as you can see in the vid still doesnt turn on. 

Maybe it's a phone - computer incompatibility but there's only sound on your "vid".  Somebody else did the same thing the other day.

And that thing you're holding in your hand is the vacuum advance control solenoid, I think.  The electrical doesn't matter as much as the open vacuum line.  That would be a small vacuum leak.

And your valve cover is connected to your crankcase which is connected to the intake manifold via the PCV system.  It's a giant vacuum leak.
