Just curious? Did you disconnect the ground wire to engine when repairs where done? Did you disconnect the positive from the starter when the repairs where done? I would check those and if that isnt it look at the main fuse and relay box in the engine compartment and see of any of the ignition relays were removed or not working. If all is good then i would start looking at the ignition itself.
