Default Wire Tuck Problems

I ******* suck, let's start with that, no need to tell me.

Anyway, on my tuck I basically moved everything in through the speedo cable hole and down under the dash. Just depinned the round plugs, but cut that rectangular one and just unscrewed stuff on the fuse box.

Here's the issue: Starts, but won't turn off. Also, when in II the injectors or something around there are going nuts making noise and **** like stuff is trying to happen.

I've heard grounds, but how should I check? Also, should I start by undoing the work on the rectangular thing since it has ground stuff there?

Other issue: Solid CEL, hoping this has something to do with the other issue, but Iono, don't see where it could have come from, but we'll figure it out.

Not sure how this could have come about, but it did, so yeah, any help is appreciated.

Yeah, I'm surprised how clean I got it and how many wires I put through there.

I suck with wiring though, so if anyone can tell me what to go about to use a DMM or something to check the ground I'll mail them a cookie (100% serious, I'd get to eat the rest fo the batch, ).

Thanks for the message of hope.

Not going to start doing pictures until it's finished. I might have miss-pinned some of the wires from the ground. Gotta break out the diagrams.

I can't see anything amiss with my wiring. Can anyone tell me how to check grounds with a DMM?

Made a test light cuz I didn't have one, the thermostat ground, starter ground, and both of the multigrounds are still good. What should I check now?

Oh yeah, haha. Well, cel was from having two white wires mispinned and the no stop was because I mispinned on of the two injector power wires (left over from dpfi) and had it going to the main relay power source.

Always label like colored wires! That was my main mistake. Once I got my head screwed on and realized wiring isn't as confusing as it seems I figured it out pretty quick.

Thanks for teh supportness.

to test for grounds w/ a multimeter, place one lead on a solid ground, touch lead in question w/ other lead. if it is grounded there will be continuity
