Default Help! Took harmonic balancer off and now car won't start

2009 cx7 turbo was having a bad oil leak. So I took the harmonic balancer off to replace the crankshaft seal and also the oil pan.

Assembled the harmonic balancer using the tdc pin and little screw to fix harmonic balancer to the case. Engine crankshaft but there is no ignition.

Thanks in advance for you help.

What you did is a big no no. By removing the harmonic balancer, you altered the timing of the car. There are diamond crushed washers that need to be replaced with everything you mess around with balancer. Now, let's hope you didn't bend the valves when you crank the engine.
