Wire tuck, no start

I did a wire tuck to the passenger side and now it won't start. Will anything I did not make it start? I also don't have any coolant in the res. would the sensor cause a no start? I havent started it in around a month and have relocated the batt and added an aem intake. I did have to lengthen sime wires and change grounds. Could it jt be flooded Help please

No coolant will not be the reason, it will cause your engine to overheat; but since it's not running, shouldn't be a concern. Check your battery first, does any of the lights or radio work if the key is turned ON? Any CEL?

check the ignition ground, check the "engine" fuse in the box.

on top of the engine. also check the one from the battery to the chassis.
better yet--just see if you are getting spark during cranking. if no spark then you have it.
Does fuel pump start up when switched to "on"?
