This engine was running fine prior to this operation.

I removed and reinstalled the intake manifold on my 1996 5.2 Ram pick up engine. Now it wont start. In sumwhat of an order of operation, I, disconnennected battery for approximatetly 3 days while working on vehicle. I removed, and cleaned manifold, and replaced lower baffle gasket. I cleaned surfaces, installed new gaskets, reinstalled manifold, changed oil and anti freeze, reconnected battery, and tried to start.

Now I have no spark and no fuel pump relay or pump activity.

Sure could use some help on this major probem.

Much appreciated

 

charge the bat then try agian.

 

Check all of your connections to make sure you did not leave anything loose or disconnected.

 

Update. Thank you for replies. I had 4 more connections than required. I accidently pinched the distributor feed under the intake manifold. I had two friends helping (???) by holding harnesses back. After removing pigtail from the bite and repairing harness, the truck started instantly. It doesn't appear as though CPU sustained any damage.

Again thank you for the input
