Angry Help!! Car Won't Start!!

I went out this morning and found my FD in a puddle of coolant. Long story short, I found and fixed the leak and now the car won't start. I thought it was flooded so I went through the deflooding process. To no avail.

During the fixing process, I pulled the UIM manifold off and it happened to touch the alternator and sparks flew. I may have blown a fuse because the interior lights won't come on, the radio doesn't work, and the clock is even off.

The car will turn over and just not start. Could I have killed the alternator or is there a fuse I should be looking for? I don't want to pull every fuse out and check it.

Any advise would greatly be appreciated.

i think the first thing you should do is look for a fuse thats out relating to spark and fuel.

Fixed it. It was the main fuse. Those little guys are hard to find at the parts store. Nobody sells 120A main fuses.
