What ever you did undo it. You have somehow entered a ground wire ??? Undo what you did.
Building on Mr Hooper's answer ... if you have managed to short something out as part of the ignition switch it could be one of the RELAYs in the engine compartment....box is near the passenger side firewall. I would evaluate the "STRTR" relay which is one of the larger ones in the box on the upper right hand corner.
Sometimes if there are 2 identical relays in a box you just switch them to see if that changes anything, but for this Impala it does not look like there is a twin relay to play with.
If you are handy with a multimeter you can check the relay ... watch video for some pointers to do that ... even if you do not have the internal wiring of the relay
Good luck on your troubleshooting.
None of the handful of fuses in the passenger compartment (shotgun side down by the kick plate) look like they have anything to do with the ignition/starting circuit.
Check your fuse box, I bet you blew a fuse to the ignition circuit.
SOURCE: Ignition will not recognize the key chip and it will not start.
call a locksmith they have a reader and can tell if your key is the problem... it will tell them which keycode is for your vehicle and they can check and see if the key matches also i have a 95 ssei and the pcm was the problem with mine

I had the same issue with my 2001 XJ8 and ended up having to have the car rewired from the engine to the battery. I was charged about $300 from a independent automotive electrician. Unfortunately this was after having a new starter and alternator installed! I was told that there were 2 or 3 service bulletins on this issue from Jaguar.
Good luck on this one, it's very frustating and had my car in the shop for about 3 weeks trying to figure this one out.

there should be a slot for each wire on back of ignition play with them till you get it right cant hurt anything

You have to have the key coded with the ignition switch at a lock smith,or the dealer.
SOURCE: car wont start. turns over but wont stay running
your cars antitheft system is trying to prevent the car from being stolen so it is shutting it offf after it starts. go back over step by step you installation instructions make sure the ring around the ignition that comes with the remote starter is taped into the exact loacation it needs to be, or the cars own anti theft system will not notice it and will try to shut car off. its an anti theft feature. if this doesn't wotk you will not be able to use this remote starter. i ran into the same problem finally got it to work poperly.

Usually answered in minutes!
That's the very first thing I did. From what I can tell no blown fuses
It was the bcm fuse that was blown.I didn't check that one at first. Everything is working properly now.
Glad it worked out!
