Is the light with car and lock illuminating? That happened to me once before. Went to start the car and it wouldn't do anything. I just pressed unlock on the key fob a few times and it started right up.

Security? Unhook the battery and let everything reset? Maybe you drained the battery?

You have checked the I/P IGN fuse under the hood it 20 amps.

Also what color where the wires you tapped into for the wideband,
And if you didnt how did it hook into the electrical system,
Please explain
