Won't start after replacing the Upper Intake Manifold
Posting to see if I can get any suggestions. My 04 automatic recently had a new engine put in. After the replacement, the dealership told me about a CEL code I had for a SSV issue (P0661). They said it was separate from the engine replacement and would cost $700 to fix. The car ran fine, so I said 'no thanks' and went my way.
This weekend I finally decided to take a look at the SSV solenoid following the DIY threads here. I took apart the Upper Intake, Throttle Body, checked the solenoid and the valves, everything tested fine.
Not comfortable digging any deeper, decided to put everything back together and just take it to the dealership. I reconnected everything, went to start the car, and nothing. It'll crank, but won't startup. Double-checked everything, tried again, nothing.
Am I missing anything? Would definitely appreciate any suggestions.
Not sure if this could lead to any problems, but I did disconnect the blue and red hoses on the driver side that supply fuel (didn't know at the time they ran gas to the engine).
Thanks for any help,

Release the twins.
1. check for spark? I hope i don't have to explain how to do that.. got spark got to 2.
2. check for fuel? listen to see if the fuel pump comes on when cranking/2secs after key ON.
i'd say MAF, and then crank angle pick ups(left unplugged)
