Changed Fuel Filter on 1997 12 Valve and No Start!!

My buddy changed the fuel filter on his 97 12-valve, but the housing back together, cracked the bleeder on top of the housing and pumped the primer until it spewed fuel, then attempted to start, by cranking for 20 to 30 seconds then stopping and trying again...did this 3 or 4 times. No start. We then cracked the injector lines and cranked again 3 or 4 times....not getting any fuel out of the injector lines. Anybody have any idea what is going on??
Any help at all would be great.

Thanks in advance!!!
