Guess what went wrong

I just finished bleeding my clutch which required me to take of my intake and I put everything back. Right when i put my key in and turn the ignition, the car doesnt start. There is no crank sound and the cluster and all the lights work. Whats the problem?

FIXED!!!

Figured it was something dealing with the ignition near the key so i unplugged the turbo timer and then plugged it back in and it worked. not sure what went wrong but it was a simple but aggrevating fix.

check the main power wire from the battery to your starter, it might be loose.

Probably not the problem but since you removed your intake did you remember to plug the maf when done? Worth a shot....

check all your fuses, there are fuses in the positive battery terminal, some just to the left of the battery, and some under your dash. i would be checking any of them with the engine symbol, there are a couple.

Make sure your clutch switch is hitting the clutch pedal. Happened to me and the car wouldnt start.

did you disconnect the Camshaft Position Sensor? if it is not re-connected it would cause the symptoms you are describing

it is the connector is on the right side of the head, extending forward. roughly above the intake of the turbo

Good point. If the clutch switch doesn't get engaged it wont crank.

What does the camshaft position sensor have to do with anything?

It will crank even if the clutch switch is unplugged, so I doubt that's it. I keep mine unplugged at all times. However, if it's plugged in, and the clutch pedal isn't engaging the button for some reason, then that would cause this...
