Default Won't start!!! Help please!

I finally got around to cheeking my fuses & found one bad fuse. I replaced it & checked what I hoped would fix my washer pump problem, it didn't work. I took the key out & went back inside. Later on I was going to go somewhere & it wouldn't start. I found out that I put the ignition fuse in the wrong slot & I put it back in. It now turns over, but won't start! It's a 98, so I know it's fuel injected & I don't think it's flooded! Also worth noting is the relays are constantly clicking real loud! Any ideas? I'm just about at my wits end!

Fuel filter mite be, but I doubt it's the injectors. The engine only has 80,500 miles on it! Keep the ideas coming guys!
