lol...
well........find out what is missing .

fuel, ignition, timing, compression .
Did the air intake boot come undone ?

Did anyone LOOK where the work was just done ?
I always take off the air intake boot and throttle body on a waterboxer
to replace the starter.

It's quite possible that Joe Tehcnician likely didn't tighten an air
intake boot hose clamp.

but did anyone LOOK !!!??
that's where diagnosis and repair starts.

In all cases...
where any work was just done, that's where you look first.
