Sounds like you left the small black wire with a green stripe off at the NEG post of the Battery.

thanks for the input i checked the grounds and they are hooked up. i was looking around and i seen a chipmunk or mouse had been nesting under the upper intake. i guess i should pull the intake and check for chewed wires on the harness. i can see most of them and they look alright if one of the wire were chewed threw would that make them all the injectors stop working.
