Okay here goes...
Just got the car running fine after changing the injectors last week. Previously changed coil, plugs, plug wires, dist.cap, fuel filter, both relays under passenger kick panel, alternator, Idle air valve, wiring harness all within the past 5000 miles.

Yesterday ran smooth as a top, went to the store, dead battery when I tried to leave.

Here's where I hope I didn't mess up.

Charged the battery overnite with a trickle charge- but I forgot to unhook the pos. and neg. cables.

Started the car this morning, ran great to work, went to leave and no fuel pump sound. Jumped the relay, heard the pump whirring, no crank. No tools with me, so I came home to get some to check if fuel is coming out at the injectors. Did I damage the ECU by not disconnecting the battery cables? Why won't it start after jumping the relay? Why do I have to jump the relay? Ran fine this morning...ARRGHHHHH!!
