Check all of your under hood fuses, especially #22.

did you bleed fuel or oil at the heads. Also for future reference it isn't neccesary to bleed it. it will fill and run with out it. Do you have a wait to start light? any smoke out the tail pipe? Also do what plowhand said and check the PCM/fuel heater fuse.

Hi
we checked the fuses on Saturday but I will go check again to be sure. We bleed fuel out of the head and the pcm is located where?
