no start after changed fuse

i changed out my emissions fuse today because i was getting p0102,p0443, p0135 etc. so i pulled the positive end of the battery and then pulled out the crank fuse and some other larger fuse to reach the emiss fuse. once i replaced it, i put all the fuses in their proper spots, attatched the battery and went to start it up and it only clicks. im guessing the starter clicking.

the run/crank and crank fuses look good and i have no idea what this could be. any help/info is greatly appreciated. and i have been searching btw, just trying to get some feedback before i mess anything else up.

thanks

The only time I've heard my car click is when the battery is dead. Hopefully someone who has a better idea will chime in.

roll your windows up and down and see if they function at the same speed as they normally do. I find it hard to believe its a coincidence that your car wont start right after fooling around with your fuse box. You sure you didn't forget to put one back in?

If you are getting a click it could very well be the battery. It's worth a shot to try giving it a jump. If it works let her sit for a few to charge back up. If not take all the fuses back out, check them then be very slow and careful about putting them back in. goodluck! hope it's nothing serious.

The battery could still do some other functions but may not have enough juice to turn the motor over. Double check the fuses and give it a jump like the guys above said.

Cant you just pop start it? Or is that something people don't suggest doing anymore.

If your car is getting a lean code, it wouldn't be running rich they are two different things. In short Lean means too much air and Rich means too much fuel in the air/fuel mixture. As far as a way of fixing it I can't help you.

If the alternator is not putting out the proper voltage it will create these types of problems.
Due to the improper voltage the sensors dont give the proper feed back to the PCM.

Check it with a meter,12 volts min with car off.
And 13 to15 volts with it running at at least 2000 rpm

Trims are not saved as part of the tune when you pull it off the ecm.
