I cant say i really understand all of your jibberish, but if you connected everything back to the way it was stock ..check your fuses.

touching a live wire to ground... either by directly touching it to a ground.. or by leaving some of the wire exposed and then it rubbed against some ground.

assuming you dont have a test light, just grab them one by one in both fuse boxes and see which one is blown

First of all, you shouldn't be messing with wires, if you don't have a multimeter/test light or some sort of volt/ammeter. But anyways, If all your fuses are good, do some searching and find out which fuse/s control your fuel pump, then find out if they are getting power when the key is turned to the ON position, if you are getting power, check for power again at the fuel pump. If you get power to the fuel pump, then is something wrong with the pump. If not, their is some sort of break in the circut between the pump and the fuse panel. You just have to trace it. It will not jump out at you and say here I am. Good Luck, let us know what you find!

It's a civic, any civic is a high theft target.

That's why it's always happy to show up at the top 10 most stolen cars every single year...

Any Honda Civic is a high theft target! Have you not seen all the stolen car threads recently?! Besides that is completely irrelevant to what he is asking.

I still tend to think that it's fuse/relay problem. I mean it works before you cut it, you play with wires, and now it doesn't. Check every single fuse, even the ones in the under-hood fuse box.
