My car has been in the body shop for nearly a month now with no battery or without being cranked. Several things were disconnected in the front (radiator, a bunch of wires and hoses and such) and now everything is back together. When I went to the shop today, they couldnt get it to turn over so I took my optima battery up there and now it does. Problem is even though it turns over, It wont cut on. While trying to start the car it does get spark. The only thing I can think of is that im not getting any fuel. We cant smell any fuel nor can I here my walbro 190 fuel pump buzzing. I the fuel pump is also rewired so I checked the fuse and wires and its all ok. Does anyone have any idea what it might be? I have a 190 walbro re-wired, custom intercooler, injen intake, greddy exhaust, 2way alarm, and stock turbo. There is a nipple on my injen intake that is missing a hose (not the oil one that goes to the valve cover) but I was told that with that missing it should still start up, but just idle funny. Thanx! The car started before I began having the front end repaired.
 
have you checked that you are actually getting current to the fuel pump via a voltmeter
if it sat that long without being used there may be some varnish or something in the pump keeping it from turning if it is even getting current

i had the same problem when i did a major thing on car
turned out my alarm wire was broken to the ground since my alarm wasnt working
the relay in the ignition system that sends current to the fuel pump was never kicking in
it took me days to figure it out
