Does the car crank? If not its probably your main relay or you misconnected something. Recheck everything and make sure you have accurate wiring diagrams of the Main fuse box to the ignition switch (not your starter) to the dash fuse box to main relay to the fuel pump. This should cover everything you need to check.
