Default starter job.

This weekend I decided to tackle the starter on my 92 LS, it took me quite some time to take the starter off. I replaced it with a new/referb starter, and while I was in I decided to do the valve cover gaskets, intake manifold gaskets, throttle body gasket, EGR, and all the other gaskets along the way. Replaced a few Hoses that were old and cracked. (with help of the great people of this forum to source out the parts)

I finally get everything back together making sure everything was plugged in properly. I attach the battery and my car would try to start without the keys in the ignition!?

We took the intake manifold off again to see if we installed the starter wrong and if we caused a short somewhere, but everything looks solid.. Now I am stuck. Help!

Moving the wiring harness around may have triggered some short. Recheck to make sure the insulator to the connectors in that area are not worn through and grounding out.
