While messing with gauges, i had the power ran to the radio. While putting the gauge back in its correct spot, the wires must have touched, it popped the fuse to the radio as expected. After doing extensive coming through wires, checking fuses and trying to start the car nothing has worked, the car cranks but doesnt start..Please help with this problem, is there something im missing, the fuel pump? it was running this morning great!:banghead::(:(:(:(
 
You need to start with the basics. This question has a million answers.

Check the following things:

Fuel Pressure
Injectors (Use a 9V battery to pulse them so you don't blow them up.)
Spark to the coil.
Spark to the plugs.
Compression test.
Power at the pump.

If the car cranks and the fuel pump is getting power, chances are it is not electrical at all.
