Default Volvo 850 won't start due to battery

Hello, well my 95 850 turbo wouldn't start the other day due to a dead battery. I had my cousin hook up a battery charger to it, and unfortunately he hooked up the positive and negative leads wrong. It ruined the battery but it was toast anyway. So the next day I replaced it and the car turns over fine now but will not start. no fuses are blown. what could the problem be?

Sad to say that something could have been blown by hooking up the power wrong. I would check fuel pressure, spark, and air.
