Hey ANTHONY,

It sounds like the fuel pump could have gone out, lets start by checking the fuel pressure and then see if the engine has spark. Also check the wiring ground near the job you just did, something they can be loose or left off.

Here are a few guides that will help.

Please run some tests and get back to us so we can continue helping you.

Best, Ken
