    fuel pump not pressurizing

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ok, so i am gettting the car back together from the tranny swap, and now i tried to start the car. well, accidentally put the cables on my battery backwards. (i know right). Well, i blew a 60a ABS fuse, but everything else seems fine. car turns over, but when i put the key in the on position, the fuel pumps dont whine (twin wallys). i checked voltage and im getting 12.4 to my hotwire kit relay. pulled the relay out of the cover and when i manually push it together they whine. So, i got two diffent new realys, swapped them in and nother still. I have no fuel pressure when i crank the car. (looked at my FPR guage). Only get pressure when i squeeze the relay itself manually. What is going on? I think i fried my HKS DLI too. Besides the fact that i did a complete noob thing, i hope i didnt fry my AEM EMS. I havent got my new shorty velocity stack intake runner so the car isant 100% back together. What could be wrong? and how can i test my EMS and DLI to make sure its ok.

    Sounds like you aren't getting power out of the black w/blue stripe wire from the MFI relay. You dun fucked up.

    It's either going to be the MFI relay, or check the rest of your fuses, or your EMS. Connect your computer to it and see if it's still working.

    How to test the relay.

    + to 10, - to 8
    + to 9, - to 6
    + to 3, - to 7

    Edit: Here is a diagram, along with a picture of what the inside of the relay looks like. (for those who might be curious)

    LOL did you put the battery in backwards or something? It's hard to even do this on these cars.

    To sell? I mean I have it, but the whole thing is assembled and wired, I'm not going to split it up.
