Default starting problems after repaint manifold

Hi ! Im asking for a friend.
We have repaint the intake manifold and replace all the hoses to silicone hoses.
The problem is that the car wonīt start.
We can pull the car with another car so the engine starts but the engine canīt idle at all. And it misses when we accelerate.
When we take the foot of the pedal the engines stopes.
It wonīt start just cranks around on the starter.

The hoses is places right ,the contacts/electrical is in right place as they were before. We canīt get any codes with a computer/OBD.
The gaskets are new for injectors,manifold and the throtle.
The ignition timig is between 10-14degree. The cambelt is in right position.
It gets fuel and it gets igniton. Have tested to change the sparkplugs and wires with no results. Plugs are wet.

Does anybody have the same problem ?
Ideas ?

Wet plugs suggests electrics, IMHO.

But i get fuel, also get spark, but the car cant start with the starting engine. If you "pull" the car a few meters the engine will start, and you can drive the car. THe lambda is okey, between 14-15. But if you accelerate the will do a short "lag" for about 1 sec and then the lambda is 17 and after one sec lambda showing almost 10 and the car goes away like italways did before. Also checked for error codes with obd but cant find anything.
