Replaced starter, now it cranks but doesnt start. HELP PLEASE!!! 850 1995

I just got done replacing my starter with an aftermark NSA starter and put everything back together. When I try to start it now it just cranks over and over but doesnt start. It cranks over great but that is all it does, I don't hear a sputter or anything. It ran fine right before I replaced the starter. I ran into a few problems with the new starter not being the right length so I had to put washers on the thing where the bracket connects to it to get it to line up with the hole on the engine block. Besides that, everything reconnected without a problem. I double checked that all of the relays on the fan were connected and also that all of the wires on the starter were connected. I also checked all of the vacuum lines too and those all looked connected.
Could someone please answer any of these questions you know the answer to, thanks so much.

1. What could I have done to cause it not to start now?? it cranks over great but just wont run.
2. Does anyone know if the fuel pump or ignition system gets power or ground from the starter? maybe I needed to clean the contacts on the bracket better or something if thats the case...
3. would any of those relays on the fan shroud cause it to crank but not start?
4. if by chance I knocked a wire loose on either the knock sensor or TPS sensor etc... would that cause this sympton??
5. if It was a vacuum line that was disconnected, would it cause it not to start?
6. by having the battery disconnected for so long, could that have caused it to not be able to start?
7. can I run engine codes on it and get results if it never started yet since reconnecting the battery?

Again thanks for any help, I would appreciate it much. It got too late and I got too tired for me to do anything else tonight... so im hoping someone will give me some good ideas so that I can try them out tomorrow.
