Fuel problems? Spark?

[Spikzsta]

 

I am not a pro mechanic, I started on this project z ‘75 280z fuel injected. I changed all the gaskets and realized I needed new fuel injectors. I pulled them and changed them. I didnt relieve the pressure by disconnecting the line and letting the pump pump it out. I leaked some fuel and relieved the pressure that way. I replaced everything and put the car back together when i went to turn it on it wouldnt turn on. 
It cranks and if i give it gas it tries to turn on but wont stay on. I think i have spark. When i have the key in the on position i can hear the fuel pump working. My gas tank currently has under a quarter of gas. And before i change all the spark plugs and wires how can i make sure if its the gas pressure or if it isnt getting enough gas. I changed the fuel filter too. What should i do to run diagnostics? Thank you!

Did it run when you started the project?

Try starting fluid.

Make sure that the intake manifold and crankcase are fully sealed.  All of the injector o-rings, the oil filler cap, all ports on the manifold must have a hose or be blocked.  Even the dip stick tube has to be sealed.

It ran. I will try starting fluid. Im sure everything is sealed but ill double check.

Also check wire connections to pump, injectors and ignition

I havent gotten a chance to work on it but... i did an egr delete would that have anything to do i disconnected a wire im guessing it was to a water temp gauge could that be giving me an error? All the pipes were sealed and headers installed

Not what I'm thinking old cars sometimes a wire connections don't always connect after disconnecting.

Did you plug the one under the throttle body that comes off the EGR or BPT, I can't remember which but it's the one circled in yellow in this photo.

Here's a good picture of the connections on a "77.  Thanks to @240260280

I just took the EFI harness off my 77 and there is also a ground in the engine compartment the drivers side strut  bulge. I missed this one in the drawing above.

The temp and thermostat sensors were in a plug together with the egr. Ill try pluging that in maybe thats why it isn’t starting?

Can you post pics of what you are talking about, I'm not following you.

And are you referring to the injector seals?
