new injectors - now what

Put a set of injectors in a 06 SD F-350 yesterday. took about 2 minutes of cranking to start, had a good buzz with coeo. ran great. turned it off to check the restart. let it set for a min. had to crank for 30 seconds before it restarted. tried several times with same results.
my back was hurting so i called it a day. later that night i remembered i had forgotten to plug the mass air flow and minder back up,,, that had to be it !!! the next morning, sure enough i forgot. pluged them back up, checked everything again. turned the key on and got a faint hint of a buzz ? fuel pump ran normal. tried again and again before i ever tried to start it. just a fraction of a second of buzz... cranked on it for about 30 sec with no start.
any ideas, i sordered the ficm 3 months ago,oil change and fuel filters yesterday.

You need to drive it roughly 5 miles to work the air out of it. Until then, it will have a hard start.

The buzz doesn't matter unless your running a test. Sometimes mine is really loud, sometimes I can't hear it. But it always starts and runs like a champ. I had a long start on mine two days after a injector change once. Just burping the truck can take some time in the drivers seat is all.

Injectors can "buzz" for 2 seconds, or 10 seconds.

You replaced all 8? You have air, drive it and get all the air out.

Unless your trying to say the truck will not start at all?
