Hello,

This sounds like the crankshaft angle sensor or the fuel pump has gone out, when you turn the key to the on position without cranking the engine over can you hear the fuel pump run in the tank for 5 seconds?

Please run down this guide and report back.

Good morning,

I would recheck your work and make sure you did not leave something disconnected. The crank sensor is behind the alternator. Make sure it is plugged in and not damaged.
