What did you touch or where were you in the car while doing this work? If the fuel pump comes on that means the ECU is getting power.Does the starter try to turn over? If not meeter the switch on the column to assure power is being sent from it. It could just be burned out.

Yea go under the hood and check your main ignition fuse and the starter/alt fuses. I blew a main ignition because of poor wiring but the previous owner and my car wouldnt do anything. It would come on but wouldnt fire up. As soon as i tried to start it the ign fuse would pop. Found out the wiring was done poorly and was causing it.
