all i can say to that is you have disturbed something while fitting the stereo so pop out the stereo and just have a look to see if there is anything that looks out of place ie connections may have come apart and also check for fuel delivery as this would relate to the problem can you hear the pump prime when you turn the ignition on if not then look in that area
