Default Car started...now it won't...give me some ideas...

I finished my gsr swap today. The car fired right up, mind you it was a 3000 rpms, due to a tight cable...and the vtec solenoid not having a gasket, so it leaked...I stopped the car, corrected the solenoid and the throttle...now the car will not start. The check engine light comes on awful slow most of the time and the brake light comes on fast...I cleaned all of the ground, the tranny gr, the valve cover gr and the thermostat ground. Battery is at 12 volts before starting...what is the culpret...please hellp a guy out, I need the car monday.

No code, no cel...the light comes on when you put the key in, however now it barely came on...the fuel pump did not prime...however after sitting for a few(30) minutes it did prime, and after attempting a start then the pump did not again. I think maybe it is the battery, I am changing it in the morning, but am unsure as of yet.

Sounds like a plug is loose. Is the ground on the starter loose ? Double check the thermostat ground and the tranny ground. Sounds like the ground wire wiggled off the starter a bit or a plug needs pushed in more/connected.
