I have a 2005 Suburban and I had battery disconnected for two days while changing power steering pump. When finished it will not start. Tried starting fluid and did no good. Any ideas why this would happen?

No spark. Just not sure why. Everything was fine before I changed pump. Not sure if pcm could have went bad when I reconnected battery

Have not started testing yet. Not that familiar with working on vehicles with computers. Usually work on older cars

I sprayed starting fluid in the intake manifold and it didn’t do anything. Didn’t fire at all
