check all your sensors, you may have disconnected them.

Try jumping it. Sounds like you killed the battery just enough.

check your voltage, possibility of the clutch switch. I've had this happen before (not on evo, but eclipse). The clutch switch broke and the car wouldn't start because it didn't know the clutch was being pressed

I just used a jumper wire to bypass the switch, but then you gotta remember you can start the car without pressing the clutch while in gear

You didn't short out the starter by hitting terminals with a wrench?
