Check your fuses first.

Does it crank and crank and crank and not fire? Or does it try to fire over and kind of stumble but never actually start?

It cranks and all that but I don't hear the pump kick on and I don't see the injectors spray.

Re: fuel pump and injectors no go.

So I disconnected all my stuff and I had it back for a second. Then I checked the oil pressure switch and it was loose. Could this play a part?

Um, yeah. Thats a safety switch that kills the motor when oil pressure drops to low.
