Alright as much as I hate to do this I absolutely cannot get the car to fire.

It ran fine prior to me pulling in the garage, was supposed to be a quick fuel injector swap with a set of 680s. They ended up not having good seals and ordered some from PTE. So I swap my old injectors back in and bolt everything up. I had pulled all the plug wires from the coils to get the rail off.

Now I put the wire back in with the following order

4 1 2 3 - coil

4 3 2 1 - head

I have verified fuel, lots of it. I have spark off every coil pack and plug. DSMLink shows a fuel trim malfunction obviously but the tune is exactly how it was before. It fouled the plugs after the first several tries to start it. New plugs installed nothing.

Another interesting note, after it turns over maybe 4-5 times it acts like the battery is dying and dims lights, power and you can hear the starter moan. If I pull the injector caps off so there is no power it doesn't do this and turns over fine, washing the cylinder walls with fuel maybe?

So at this point I am stuck, everything is plugged in and I really have no clue what the hell is going on, opinions are greatly appreciated.
