no start after valve cleaning

So i cleaned my intake valves this weekend, they were pretty bad.

I put it all back together, and now my car wont start. It kicks over like its trying to, and will start for a second but it sputters out and then dies.

I have tried:

Unhooking battery
Checking all connections
Checking fuses
letting it sit for awhile so the fuel pump can prime
fuel leaks out if I unhook the fuel lines, so I know its getting fuel
Spark plugs are good.

any suggestions would be helpful

I routed my vacuum lines different since i have a bov.

Could that be why its not starting? I bypassed the vacuum solenoid.

No that wouldn't be it, I had mine same way. Make sure u didn't forget brake booster line , did u replace the pcv valve? Make sure u didn't forget to put that back in if u removed it. U put the fuel pump relay back in?

I got it working.

I had to keep trying to start it and then it just started idling fine. Let it burn the crap out and get fuel pressure and its good to go.
