Car won't start.. Help!!!
Today I wanted to check the compression in the cylinders so I borrowed a compression gauge. I took out the fuel pump relay. Then pulled the spark plug wires and spark plugs. Put the compression tester in each hole and cranked over each cylinder 4-5 times to get a good reading. Good news is that the compression is good in all cylinders 190psi . Bad news is that I put it all back together and now it first ignited but then died about 2 seconds afterward.I pulled the battery cable negative for 5 minutes and tried again. Still nothing. Then I put the stock AC delco plugs back in and tried again and now it won't even ignite for a little bit.
I now have the battery disconnected again . Waiting a little longer to reconnect. I checked all the fuses and nothing is blown. All the coil packs are sewcure. I can kinda smell some gas out the exhaust.
Does anyone have any suggestions. Does oil need to be dropped back into each cylinder after you do a compression test?
Ok just had the negative off for 1/2 hour plugged it back in and it still won't start. I replaced the ECU with the stock ECU as well and still nothing. Now I looked down into each hole and ontop of the pistons there was no oil or fuel. I think that the Fuel is not being pumped for the spark. I checked the fuese and still nothing. Is it possible I burned up the fuel pump and now it's not working? Or should I keep cranking on it in hopes that fuel will come through the lines and ignite?

Yea I put the relay fuse in the correct location. I turned the key to the on position and I could hear the relay click. I turned the key until the ECU detected that I was cranking on it too much and shut it down. I tried again and still no luck. Anything else I need to check
Ok just checked for the hell of it and the relay was in the wrong position . Two prongs were in the dummy position. Good thing for the search button on this site.Thanks Angel
