Installed Bluetooth - car won't start

I installed a Grom bluetooth unit today. Everything went smoothly and it works fine. However, now the car won't start. It turns over just fine but it acts like it is not getting fuel. I didn't get under the hood and only worked in the dash. WTH could I have unplugged in the dash that would cause this?

Thoughts?

I wouldn't think so as it is turning over robustly.

Going to move you to the Stock Problems Issues area.

Where did you make your tap for the power connection?

I tapped into the positive, ground and signal at the back of the radio. For testing what was going on, I pulled a spark plug and turned the engine over. No spark. I am wondering if the security settings have been tripped. I pulled the battery to try and reset the ECU, after resetting the ECU through the trip meter with no luck, and it has not resolved the issue.

In the thread below, # 0015 will have a link for electrical schematics. I am thinking that when you made the tap something got shorted out.
