Default 1997 Jaguar Venden Plas Won't Start

Ok, I am new here and not sure I am posting in the right section... Feel free to guide me where I need to be. I have a 1997 Jaguar Vanden Plas 4.0L straight 6. The car was having high idle issues, so I found out the IACV motor was stuck open causing the idle issue. After removing the throttle body and cleaning the IACV I reinstalled it. My issue now is the vehicle will not start. I have checked all fuses, spark, fuel pressure and it all checks out. When I check pulse on the injectors, the noid will pulse once while cranking and then stops. I am at my wits end with this vehicle and could use some professional help. Thank you

Hi Andrew and welcome to the forum.

If I were you I would start by going back over what you have already done and check everything again. You may well have forgotten something or disturbed something else.

I have triple checked everything on the original work I did around the throttle body. My only issue is why the injector only pulses once? my knowledge on these cars is very limited.
