HELP - 8V92 will not start

[Mike McMahan]

Larry, I've said this before but it bears repeating. The folks that
taught me the little that I know about engine told me to always look
for the simple stuff first when I had a problem. Have you tried to
start the c0ach from the rear start switch? My guess is that in
replacing the exhaust gasket that a wire or a connection is pulled
loose. When you had the vspec hooked up wrong did you turn the key
on or try to start the engine? If not then I doubt that is the
problem. I wish I could be more help but i am not familar with the
94 engine compartment. Mike McMahan 96 42' Wanderlodge
