Have you checked that the grounds are reconnected after you put the valve cover back on? Reset the ECU just for giggles, but that shouldn't affect anything.

so you do have fuel or dont?

If you dont have spark, it could be a ground. But DA's are notiorious for going through coils and ignitors.

ECU

it's either bad or you have a fuse or relay or wire wrong somewhere as stated, It's the only thing that controls both fuel AND spark
