Well I looked under the intake and Judy bumping the hose caused it t fall off. I put a hose clamp on it until I an get a new one. After playing around I was able to get the car to start for half a second and it dies. I decided to check the light codes to see if it had any. I got a code 4 (the air sensor under the fuel injection unit, and a code 9 ( EHA) could either of these cause the csr to not run or change the timing to cause a back fire? Ive search and found that these can cause idle issues, but nothing on not starting. I really don't want to buy a new EHA if I csn avoid it. I don't plan to keep the mechanical injection system once I know the tranny works and the engine is solid

The ICV vacuum hoses have to be on and tight (no leaks) all the way to the intake.
Sounds like you're making some progress.
