Did you try again? Takes awhile to fill up the filter and prime the system again after a filter swap. Cycle the key like 2-3 times to get the pump to kick on but don't crank the motor, then try to start it

this is a stupid question but you never know with the sensors on these vehicles. my driveshaft being out has nothing to do with it does it? oh and the electrical connection on the tank did unplug but i put it back in, don't know if that messes anything up?
