Just a guess, but if it was starting OK before and you didn't adjust the new shifter cable properly such that the car doesn't think it's in Park, then it won't start.

I agree on this comment, adjust the shifter cable to actually get the transmission in park, then it should start. You can disconnect the cable from the lever on the transmission itself and see if you can position it (the transmission mounted lever) to the park position, then try to start the car to check this theory out. Of course, be safe while doing this!

This is my guess also. Car won't try to start if cable is not adjusted properly.

Just a safety lockout so the car won't start in gear
