A bit more info would be useful

Chances are, you didnt hook up the neutral start switch to the clutch pedal, so the ECU thinks the car is in gear, thus wont activate the starter.

The inhibitor switch is in the AT tranny.

Don't hook the neutral switch up to the clutch pedal. It goes to the ECU.

If you read my write-up, you should be able to figure out what you need to do to get the car running, even if you don't put in the clutch start switch.
