Default CEL startup and wont turn off till 2 minutes

Hey well here is how it works. I will go out and try to start my car. I have to click it to the on position and wait and then check engine light doesnt go off for a couple minutes. When I hear the engine light turn off I can hear a click then it will turn off. Kinda sounds like coming from main relay. Could it be the fuel pump? If i go out to my car when I just shut it off minutes ago the cel will turn off immediately. But even if i try to start it it wont start it will keep cranking. So what is this? It just takes couple minutes for the cel to turn off when i start the car.

Try resoldering the main relay and also check whether the G101 ground on the thermostat housing is clean and tight.
