Welcome to MVS. Without more information it would be difficult to tell you what it might be. Check your battery first to see if it might be low (from sitting during the repair). They might have also unplugged a sensor, especially if the battery is good and things were running before the repair.

does the starter motor turn?
if not then its likely an earth lead or positive lead to the starter motor isnt connected.

if the engine is turning, then most likely something to do with electronics.

but check the basic things first, like madein japan said, check the voltage of the battery with a multimeter.

it should read approx 13v dc. but check with your book cos there are some differences from vehicle models.

Fuel injection system cutoff impact switch?

Here's a pic of one by First Alert. It cuts off power to the fuel injection pump when the car is involved in a wreck to reduce the probability of fire. You reset it by pushing the white plastic button back in. This is the kind that Ford uses in a lot of their cars. If you have one, it's probably mounted in the passenger compartment on the firewall, but could be anywhere.
