Check fuses for ignition and PCU computer one could be blown; also ignition switch could be slightly out of adjustment allowing the switch to engage starter but not get voltage to accessory feed - do you get all dash lights in "run" light test mode? Switch, actuator should line up to index on column in run if you can see anything on column under dash. Does fuel pump run for about 2 seconds in "run"? The steering wheel work shouldn't have affected engine running. Good Luck.

I think that little strip is for the key in ignition buzzer, it doesn't have anything to do with the starting. Definitely check fuse box, especially the PCM(ECM) and any fuse for ignition.

If you are talking about the Key lock cylinder in the upper steering column the wire (black/pink) in that area should be the key warning chime lead - goes to contact on the lock cylinder only and shouldn't Keep engine from running. From your initial post I take it that the starter engages and turns the engine, but engine doesn't start running. Check for fuel pump run and spark at your plugs. If those are ok See if you can pull any codes - lots of links to getting codes for check engine light in this forum (Sorry I need to learn to add links to these threads). Post back
