Ground to the engine could have broken when lifting it up.
Also i guess you checked the fuses ?
Do you hear the starter solenoid click when turning the key?

Do the lights turn on? Is the batt dead? Batt connectors ok? Did you forget to reconnect something? Should be 12V from batt +ve terminal to engine block. Or you could use a bulb and see if it light up.

When I changed the mounts on my 1990, I encountered two grounds:

1) Ground to the block on the right hand side mount and submount.

2) From my writeup: Release loom along the cross member. Release PS line along the oil pan. Remove oil filter. Release plug on oil sensor. There is also a ground to the block and a loom holddown to the block here, 12mm.

Resolved,
lol the issue was pretty simple and it took me a while to figure it out, when i first got in the car to turn it on the window was open and i tried to start it without unlocking the door so the alarm was set i guess and because of that i wouldnt start, i had to lock up the car and unlock it from the outside then i got it going.

but one more question about the mounts, i dont think i have them as tight as the should be since i couldnt get a gun up there, its giving me a slight vibration in the car, is there a simple way to get to the mounts and tighten them =P
