Forgot to connect TPS, tried to crank once, now car won't start 850 1994

Thank you Klaus. After regaining my composure today, I went and did the following;
1. Put the key in position II, there is definitely humming from the back for a couple of seconds, second time I turned the key from outside the car and ran to the front, there is definitely the "whoosh" sound of fuel flowing for a couple of seconds.
2. I connected my inductive timing light, cranked again, there is definitely spark.
3. I checked again for trouble codes in both A2 and A6, no trouble codes stored.

What am I missing? In Spanish there is a proverb that applies to the Haynes manual, "that and nothing equals two nothings". My only conclusion is that the injectors are not opening. I had the bright idea that it may be some sort of antitheft mechanism, so with the remote I locked and then unlocked the car again, but unfortunately, no luck, crank, crank, crank, but no start. Sounds like another week driving the trusty 244!
