Take a deep breath and go take a break, then go look at it again and see what you didn't get connected back right. Get that ground back on? All the plug wires to the distributor? Pull the other end loose by chance? It is something simple you are overlooking.

Since you removed the distributor... (even though you didn't have to)...
... did you put it back in the way it came out?

Why did you remove the distributor to replace the power steering pump ?, ive replaced a couple of power steering pumps on 22RE`s and have never had to remove the distributor.

When you put the dizzy back in did you have the rotor at 12 o'clock by chance?
