You definitely missed something. Like always start from simple troubleshooting:
-read codes
-check for the spark
-check injectors if you get any gas or simply spray some starting fluid. If it starts then you need to find out why injectors aren't firing
-sometimes DME and ews get misaligned due to jump starts or bad battery.
