What'd I just do? 200

So I was all set to replace the intake manifold gasket (finally got my
care package from FCP Groton and found a day off) and then the injector
seals and holders. Got all the nuts off, as well as one of the two bolts
(GRR).. and then got called out for social activity. I put everything
back together, or so I thought and left.

Now, when I turn the ignition key to position 2, I don't hear the fuel
pumps fire up.

I took off one of the intake hoses, the cold start injector wiring (looked
like the clip on an LH injector), the distributor cap, and two mysterious
wires that were right under the intake hose (what were those?). I put
everything back, and the car starts and runs just fine but still no fuel
pump "priming".

What could I have possibly knocked off?

Geez. Could they possibly cram anything else in that area? :)

yeah, I don't know what's going on, my pumps don't "prime" either, never had. I've had the car for about 1 1/2 years or so. It starts right up, and runs fine.

I never hear my pumps fire up in the #2 position, but the car runs. If it starts and runs is there actually a problem? You must be getting pressure.
