OK, I've narrowed it down. I can get everything to work right, except when i connect the positive to the starter. Once the positive is connected to the starter everything is shorted out. What does that mean???

it means you need to recheck any and all connection you may have made on the engine harness. and also check it for rips or cuts. you either have a 12v wire to ground or something is chaffing against metal.

I went to the local auto parts store and had my starter tested, because I thought it was just grounding itself out. The starter was toast!
