It sounds like a sensor is not connected. Check all the connections and also make sure you are getting spark when you crank the engine. If you are, check to see if the injectors are clicking.

Hopefully you didn't use the Haynes manual to set your plug wires on the distributor. It is dead wrong.

This is correct.

LOL, yeah, I don't know what Haynes was smoking when they wrote that information down.
