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

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

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
