Car cranks but won't start

Here is the deal, I put on a mini ram intake and I got my car to run for a while. I noticed that the thing was leaking water on the passenger side toward the front. I soon realized that the miniram had been ported by the guy I bought it from and it was stuck on the flange of one of the valve covers. So I replaced the gasket again and made some grooves for the miniram to fit. Now my damn car won't start. I checked for spark and thats good. The only problem I can see is my fuel injectors aren't working. They are new accel 30 lbs injectors. I checked fuses and stuff, all good, checked fuel pressure, that is good too. I tried checking the wire lead to the fuel injectors but I don't know what the voltage should be. Anyone else had this problem? It's almost like the injectors are froze or something?? Thanks for any help

i had about the same thing happen to me a while back... mine would do the same thing but start sometimes and not others... it would crank but not fire... ended up it was the chip i had burnt for it was bad. you got the stock chip in there still? or is it an aftermarket one? or did you do it yourself?

I still have the stock chip installed. The only thing that I have on the ECU itself is the ZIF connector. The car ran with the ZIF on it for a while. Today I checked the computer and everything seemed to be fine. I don't know how to check the fuel injector leads though, does anyone know how to do that? I went ahead and bought some new injectors from summit though. I figure if the new injectors don't work then the ECU is jacked and I can sell the injectors on ebay. Anyone else ever had this problem? Thanks for any help guys
