xmradioguy is an unknown quantity at this point

Did you mark your distributor when you pulled it and put it back in the exact right spot?

In the top pages of the 2nd gen forums there are stickys for diagnosing start troubles. If you search there is also a post for the edi distributor to be sure its installed correctly.
