What did I do??

So. In the process of tearing out the entire interior to rust proof and add some sound deadening. The car has been working beautiful of late.
I disconnect the battery, take off the dash and knee bolster. Looking for a leak into the passenger wheel well (door seals - terrible design), I take down the ecu.
I reconnect everything that needs to be reconnected, but leaving the dash and knee bolster off, start the car. After 30 seconds or so the check engine light comes on. I turn off the car and attempt to start it again. No dice. The starter goes, the fuel pump does its thing, and the ecu clicks. But it won't start - no real sound of ignition in the cylinders.
What did I do??? I thought it might be that I knocked the ecu or main relay, so I disconnected and reconnected, and even tried a new main relay. Nothing. Also, I have lately been seeing an unusual amount of what appears to be water in the exhaust, but it rained for like a week and the car had no problems running until just now.
Any help or speculation would be lovely.
