New clutch, No Start [solved]

I've went & replaced the clutch in my 97 Civic LX. Got everything bolted up & plugged in. Went to try & start it up but it doesn't seem like its getting any fire; it turns over & is getting fuel though. I don't have any check engine light so that parts kinda stumping me.
Also want to add that I forgot to unbolt the battery at the time, rookie mistake I know. Maybe a blown fuse?

Could be a fuse or a ground wire that you forgot. Are all the starter connections tight?

I'm thinking it might be a fuse. I'm about 99% sure that everything is grounded properly, will have to check in the morning. As for the starter connections I know those are all tight.

Do you mean the clutch safety switch inside the car? If so, the only issue I've ever had with that is the plastic nip that commonly breaks. I just did the trick where you stick a coin in its place.

re: New clutch, No Start [solved]

Okay, ended up getting the car started! Turns out we just flooded the hell out of it. So basically, user error. Got it in reverse & out into the road went to throw it in to gear. . . and nothing. But that turned out to be the passenger CV popping out about 2 inches.
