Test your ground at the Thermostat and frame rail.
Do you have 12 volts at the battery?

The 4 yellow blacks are supposed to get 12v.
It sounds like when you hook it to 12v then it's sending power to the injectors AND feeding back through to the main relay.
I wouldn't doubt it if your car starts if you leave 12v to the ECU side of the resistor box.
Do NOT hook 12v direct to the injectors... it needs to pass through the resistor box or else you risk frying the injector.

My guess is that your 12v supply to the main relay is bad.

Their purpose was to provide the injectors with 12v (not ground).
They run straight to the main relay.

Check fuse in your fuse box under the hood to make sure your main relay is getting power.
