quick ? with an old problem with fuel relay
well guys like 5 months back i had a problem.let me explain it,well i was detaling my engine bay and i pass a rag by the fuel pump relay and my car turn off,all the wires were like strip so i think they touch one another i donno.try starting it on wouldnt do nothing turned up my f. pump wouldnt turn on because no power will run to the pump.so i changed my realy still nothing look at the fuses everything good.so i couldnt get my car to turn on so my local mecahnic ran a wire from the ignition wire at the coil to the wire that the gives the f pump power.so my car started on again but then my car will stay on when the turn off the ignition so i will have to remove the main engine fuse located next to the battery and it shut off.so i then ran a wire from a fuse the had constant ignition and that the way i have my car all this time but with a switch in the middle.so when i want to start it on i put the switch on and turn the ignition but when i going to turn off the car i flick the switch off.but i would like to know why it wont work the right way?wat the hell can it be ecm burn wire?

Try some punctuation. i hear it works wonders.
ok, after reading your post about 6 times, I think you probably blew out the ECM memory/fuel pump relay fuse.

Yup. For the fuel system, there are 2 fuses. There is the fuse on the fuse panel that protects the pump. However, there is also a fuse that protects the relay itself. Small 20a inline fuse. Should be up by the battery/coolant puke tank. Find this as this fuse is probably blown.
