Is the battery fully charged? Are the cables tight? Other than that, something is not connected, go through the harness and make sure everything is connected properly, especially the earths at the back of the head.

There will be a code. Not all readers will detect the codes. A high end diagnostic device will.

Kmart AKA My Car will scan it for $45 using a Snap-on or similar. I've heard SCA can scan as well but not sure how reliable the info would be.

Is the loom plugged into the ECU properly? Got it in park or neutral?
