took the dash out to change the heater core .. now the car wont start ?

i had taken my dash out to change the heater core and also took my column apart to fix a pivot pin that was loose causing a wobble .. but now the car wont start with the key ... you turn the key to the acc position and everything else works but you go to crank it and get nothing not even a fuel pump humm. any ideas? any input would be greatly appreciated. thanks

check and see if the nuetral safety switch is hooked up still. i would say check ignition switch, but i dont suppose it would even turn on "acc" if that wasnt hooked up. but check both

are you talking neutral safety on the trans or the clutch pedal switch ? i checked the pedal switch and its all hooked up. i also turned the key to on and jumped the starter and the car starts but wont stay running unless you feather the throttle as if only running off the accelerator pump and not gettin a steady pressure from the fuel pump.
