Default car won't start after replacing clutch master cylinder

i just replaced the master cylinder, not sure if i bled it right, but i do have pressure in the clutch now. i didnt unplug any wires or anything, and now my car wont start. I tried jumping it, but that didnt work either.

the only clue i found while searching was something about the clutch pedal switch, but theres not much info on it.

help please!

its probably the starter/clutch interlock switch. get yourself a haynes manual for your car. its listed in there for adjustment and replacement and all that. 14.99 at most parts stores for the book. and they are worth it. they can help you with lots of other useful stuff too. or just for reference.

nah it's not the switch, it spins but wont crank. i tried jumping it, but no luck either. had no starter or alternator problems, and car would still turn on before while my master cylinder was shot.

What spins?

To me spinning and cranking is the same thing... Now cranking and running are two different things...

Do you undo a ground? Mess with the wires that go the the injectors? If it ran fine before, and all you did was replace the MC. It's a pretty safe bet it has to do with something in that corner.
