Ok so yesterday i was cleaning up the header and and throttle body. i took off the radiator fans, the header (top part), throttle body, battery,and intake. i put a wire brush attachment to a power drill i had and cleand up the header and TB, all the carbon buld up and crap. So anyway after im all said and done i put everything back in the car, than put the battery back in and hok it up. making sure all wires and sensors i disconnected are re connected. and i go to start the car but it wont start. all the lights come n and everything but it wont turn over. i even tried jumping it cuz i somehow thought maybe the battery as low.
All in all, its not starting and no clue why. BTW 96 eclipse N/T

are you getting clicking/buzzing from the starter solenoid and relay?

I've had a few times where I worked on the car and it wouldn't start afterwards, usually it turned out to be a weak battery or corroded cables and it either took jumping the car or replacing the cables.
is the car a manual transmission? see if you can push start the car.

push starting a car isn't hard. It helps to have a downhill roll and a friend or two though.
Get someone in the car, turn the key to the 'on' position, put the car in 1st gear, make sure the E-brake is released (DOWN) push in the clutch and get your buddies to push.
once the car is rolling at about 4-5 mph (guess) dump the clutch and the engine should fire up.
if it doesn't try again.
if it does then most likely either your cables from the battery to the starter are toast or the starter switch is borked.
