Starting problems

[99Camrysleeper]

Ok, here's the thing I just replaced the Timing Belt and Water pump on my '99 Camry XLE w/ the 5s-fe engine. I have the timing marks lined up and every thing is right but it just starts and shuts right back off. I already used the D.I.Y post about doing the T-belt and water pump to check my work and it's dead on. Is there something i'm missing or forgeting to do? I really need help with this because this is my daily driver and i need to to get to work. All help is extremely appreciated, Thanks.

Just some guesses. Connectors left unconnected? You have a few electrical connectors on that end, but really not much else besides the mechanical stuff. For example, ground straps and the crankshaft sensor/connector.

Thanks for the suggestions, i figured out what happened, when you leave your battery unhooked for an extended period of time (like 4 days) your computer will lose it's "memory" and has to re-learn all of the info it lost. This according to my uncle who is a fully certified toyota technician of 15-20 years.
