the 05 and the intake and exhaust manifold.
Also kept same pcm and all wiring

pumps gas through injectors and cranks

Check to see if there is a good spark, should be a white, blueish color spark, make sure you have the proper fuel pressure, it should be 56 to 63 lbs. Change out the fuel filter also, before testing the fuel pressure.
