    Default VR wont start after inlet manifold gasket change

    Just looking for some suggestions. I changed the inlet manifold gasket on my v6 vr commodore and the car wont start. It was running rough before the gasket change. The engine turns over ok and there is definately spark and fuel, but too much fuel as all the spark plugs were wet when I removed them to check the spark. I did try to check the error codes but it is only flashing 12.
    Any suggestions / help would be greatly appreciated.

    Make sure you have plugged all the vacuum hoses ( real easy to forget the hose right at the back of the throttle body)in their right place , fuel hoses and sensor plugs and spark plug wires going to the right cylinder...
