2002 Cadillac Escalade

I have a 2002 Cadillac Escalade that randomly would not start after having absolutely zero issues. I came to the conclusion the starter went out so I replaced it, disconnected the battery as you should to do the install and got it all wrapped up in about 2 and a half hours from start to finish. After installing the new starter, it will now turn over (was not before) but it will not crank. I sprayed a very minimal amount of ether into the intake manifold to which it tried to actually start finally. I can hear my fuel pump when I turn the key, and have fuel pressure to the fuel rail. I have checked all the fuses and cannot seem to figure this thing out. Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated

Possible smart start interlock issue.

I have one installed on my vehicle, my starter went out and I followed all the protocols in order to disconnect my battery and replace my starter. Now when I try to start my vehicle, it will try to start but will not crank. The device doesn’t show any violations and acts entirely normal, I even called them to see and they say it’s nothing to do with their device but before my starter went out, I had no issues. I spoke with someone who had a similar issue with one installed, and they said their vehicle wouldn’t start for 72 hours after getting everything back together due to the interlock. Any ideas?
