Last sunday afternoon,
I finished the engine install. Now I thought about everything through this build before I even finger tightened a bolt. Then I double checked everything as to make sure it was good to go before tightening.

I add and change fluids. I get in and turn the key and everything is working. wipers, fuel pumps buzzing, ac was on it was blowing. The battery gauge is max'd out. Windows, sunroof. It all works. So the problem isn't the battery or any of it's connections.

I turn the key further and the hum of the fuel pump turns into a dull buzz and the engine won't even crank. I tried and tried.

No gas in the combustion chamber. I am under the impression that there wouldn't be sinse it didn't turn. I bought a brand new starter from toyota.
I did everything I could do to insure the engine would atleast crank and it won't. This is my worst case scenario. Because it could be 1 in 20 things.

I am open to any ideas or suggestions especially if they save me from tearing the air intake off to pull the starter. The last thing I want to do is just that and end up with it testing good. I guess I am second guessing my self. I know what I think it may be.

I need more opinions because I am bound to be over looking something small.
The engine should have cranked. I even made the time to put molly on every bolt that went in. I'm stumped.

Thank you all.
