If you are asking about the electrical part on the back of the

lock cylinder that you put the key into to start the car that is the

ignition switch. All of the power for the car runs through that switch.

So the first question is do you have any power to the switch? Does the

radio work? Does the starter turn then engine over? If none of that

happens, then the ignition switch you just put in may be burnt out.  
 
if the accessories work (radio, blower motor etc) but the starter doesn't  
turn, you may have burnt up the starter  
 
If you have power & the engine turns over then you have a separate  
problem. You need to check for the basics. Pull a plug wire & test for  
spark. If you have spark, the engine is probably flooded. Pull a spark  
plug & check for a heavy fuel odor.  
 
you can see if the timing belt is okay by taking the distributor cap off &  
having someone crank the engine. if the rotor turns the timing belt is  
okay.  
 
 
chances are you've flooded the engine starting & stopping it. It would be  
unlikely the fuel pump is bad.  
 
more information on what it is or is not doing would be helpful if the  
above doesn't isolate ur problem.  
 
hope that helps
