The yellow wire sends a resistance value to the computer from the ignition cylinder.
You cutting the wire means the computer cannot read that value and shuts off the starting systems including the pump.
As the original did not work with the key I suspect the issue is not in the anti theft but in another part of the system. Reconnect the yellow wire then see if it does anything. Does the security light come on? I suspect it will as the new cylinder will have the wrong value. If it does try the reset you did the first time.
Is the check engine light on? If not the crank position sensor would be my first suspect, but not without testing it.
