Unplug the injectors and the coil and turn it over for a minute or two. Then plug everything back in and fire it up. Oh, you might want to change the fluids and filters before you do all that.

Semi apart? If the intake is off, you're supposed to use a drill to prime.

You'll have to get a priming tool with a drill attatchment. If shoebox comes in here, maybe he can give you a more in-depth answer.
