Have you pulled your spark plugs and let them dry out? I'm sure you soaked them if it is spitting fuel. Have you connected a fuel pressure gauge?

if you have the stock tune on the car, put the stock injectors back in and does it run?

This motor should pretty much start/run on anything as long as the maf and 1st o2 is hooked up.

most like you fried the junction box in the car, (or the wires going into it) With a higher amp relay something fried, you may be able to repair just the circut for the pump but it may have damaged other wires as well. Best thing to do would be to put the correct relay in, gain access to the pigtail that powers the pump and check to see if your getting power back there. if you are pumps bad. if you arent u have an electrical issue and most likely its in the junction block,

is the junction box the flat silver rectangle attached to the fuse box under the hood?

ya bro the battery looks as if its almost dead. when you tried starting it all the guages went dimmed. and it sounds like its rolling over ok, but that may just be because of the vid... a little test you could try is get another car and try jumping your car with the cables and if still no start, then its obviously not the battery. just a little test you could try.
