Help!! Did brake job, now car won't start!!

This is on a 2001 Acura TL, but I know you guys are smart

All I did was swap the rotors. That's simple. Took the old ones off, put the new ones in.

I jacked up one side of the car
Turned the wheel to expose the caliper bolts
Took off the caliper
Put new rotor on
Put caliper back
Repeat on other side.


The car sounds like it wants to turn over, but then all I hear is the spark plugs. One weird thing happened (but doesn't anymore) when I pressed the brakes, there was a huge voltage drop. The gas tank goes to empty, the temp and mileage LCD goes blank, but comes back on when I let go of the brakes. It doesn't happen anymore, now the car just keeps firing away with no start.
