Injectors wont fire after intake gasket replacement

Hi Everyone,

I recently changed out my intake gasket just for the heck of it. Now the car won't start and I've narrowed it down to the injectors not firing. I can start and keep the car running with ether, but once I remove the ether it stalls. The injectors aren't clicking. I pulled them out of the intake and verified they aren't spraying fuel.

I'm not a newbie, and am very confused at this point. So far I've verified spark, fuel pump, presence of fuel pressure at the fuel rail, checked the thermostat ground I removed during the gasket replacement.

Can anyone give me any insight into the fuel injectors themselves? What systems, grounds, etc should I check? I have double checked all the wiring as much as I can.

ive done this my self

assuming your in front of your car hood up looking towards the back of your car on the right most back most corner of the under-hood area, there is a small computer with a heatsink atop it its silver and about 3 inches by 2 inches wide, make shure its plugged in.....
if you have a 5 speed its just to the right of the clutch fluid resivour.....

out of curiosity, how do you know the injectors arent firing, or opening.......

I put a screw driver up to each injector while turning the car over with a remote starter. Just to make sure I also took a spark plug out and looked into the cylinder with a flashlight. Like I said: the car will run on ether, until I take the ether out of the picture.

Just wanted to give you props Kronicus. I was so skeptical of your answer, but you ended up being right. Stupid me, I thought that thing was a day time running light module!

Thanks man.
