I tackled the problem again and totally removed everything from manifold down to the rails and wiring loom. I disconnected everything and then manually cranked the engine over by hand with a ratchet on the crank pulley. All sounded good....
So, I then inspected each cylinder by cranking over by hand and using a decent torch to peer in between the valve seats as the valves opened. Not much room to see, but all cylinders looked clean and no signs of damage initially.
I then reconnected the wiring loom and got the manifold back on. I did notice that one of the wiring clips to the passenger side rear injector wasnt in great condition so I made sure it seated and had a good connection to the injector body. I then re-attached everything else and got the engine back together. After a quick finally check, I cranked the engine by hand again then disconneted the fuel pump relay and and cranked it on oil pressure on the starter motor. STILL GOOD!
So, I then took the plunge and connected the fuel pump and fired it. I heard one or two bangs and just before I could kill the ignition, everything "smoothed" out after a few seconds of rough idle. The engine sounds great and idles rather high, but well. I then did a quick visual check for leaks and that was it. The engine definitely needs a map, but at least now, all is well.
