Holy Codes Batman!

Code 33, 44, 53, and 54. WTF do all of these mean? I noticed one of my vacumm lines was off so I put that on and also one of my spark plug wires had come loose so I put that back on. But it was like that at the mechanic shop all day getting my fuel line replaced that I broke. Geez, what a day, anyways, what do these codes mean and where do I begin fixing my car? It will crank but won't turn over and those are the codes I pulled, thanks. Oh btw: when I was cranking it I noticed my throttle bores would fill up with fuel with just a second of cranking, that can't be normal, I think my fuel pressure is to high.

Ok, checked for spark and my plugs are completely black, which means I am running rich so I have to tone it down on the fuel pressure but I checked for spark at my coil and at my plugs and I don't have any. ??????

I just checked all my fuses and they are all good. You think this sounds like a bad computer?

Make sure all the grounds are still hooked up to the heads.

Where do I start to look for grounds on the heads?

BTW: I checked all the fuses, everything is good. Think it could be my computer went bad on me?

There are grounds on the back of each of your heads. A loose one can reek havoc on your ignition system.
