Default Saturn won't start please help asap

Ok Here's the deal. I went to put a new lighter in the saturn. the fuse box sparked. There are no blown fuses, but the car won't start now. It just cranks. Like the fuel pump is not sending fuel. If I spray starting fluid it will start. What could be the issue. Please help asap.

With the key in the run position,probe the fuel pump fuse and make sure it is hot on both sides. Can you hear the fuel pump?

Are you getting juice to the fuse? Does the car have any flood history?
