MAJOR PROBLEMS!!!!!

I took my steering wheel off yesterday and most of the steering column to tighten it all down so it all doesn't wobble. I got it all tightened and was trying to put it together this morning and the ignition won't spring back from start to on. I messed with it for three hours and still can't figure it out. Please, any ideas welcome - is there a spring I am missing or what? Also anybody with a scanner will you please send me an exploded view of the steering column? This will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Look in the archives or posts from the last ten days. Someone has already placed an exploded view of the steering column on this topic.
Don't know where it is exactly, but I know I saw it less than ten days ago.

Thanks for the tip. Now I got it back together and the car barely starts and runs like crap. I just paid $600 for a new fuel pressure regulator. They said it was ruptured. I noticed a difference for all of 4 days. It still starts hard and will not even idle right. I am going to bring it back to the shop and have them look again. Any ideas? Thanks!

You just got robbed. I hope you meant $60 not $600!
Maybe IAC or TPS. Are you throwing codes?
