Default Engine is in and I'm close to cranking but.....

We'll tonight I finally got the engine in and plugged in. I bleed the clutch and it was finally that BIG moment. I turned the key and fuel starting fountaining out of the top of the fuel filter. I had forgotten the bolt that goes into the top. Then I go to crank it again and again nothing happens. The starter is turning the crank but the engine isn't sparking. I pushed on top of the fuel rail and the injectors and theres a leak. I know it isn't the cables or nething electric. Whats this cause of the injectors doing this. Could it be a bad fuel rail or injectors thats keeping me from starting? The HANS wasn't much of a help. Thanks and I'll have pics as soon as its cranked. :thumbup:

I never took the injectors out nor the fuel rail. Could the injectors just have a bad seal. If so wouldn't the engine still crank even though theres a small leak in them? I'm just trying to trobleshoot.

Check your coil? Are your plugs fouled?

if there's no spark, that has nothing to do with the fuel rail. You can check the coil and ignitor with a multi meter.
