I installed a new starter selniod on this 96 Grand Am and then put the starter back in and the car turns over but will not start. I am pretty sure I put all the wires back in the correct locations. The car does have an automatic starting system could this system be the reason the car will not start. There is no security system on the car. It soulds like it is not getting fuel but was running before the I worked on the starter please help.

Make sure you have connected all the wires back at the big stud
only one wire at the small S terminal
check for spark
check oil pressure switch and or and other switch or connectors you had disconnect when removing the starter
