Default 96 Civic hatch wont start after alarm removal

Hello guys i recently bought a 96 hatch and decided to take the alarm out. i took everything out that wasnt oem and i fixed the starter and ignition wires with connectors.

Heres the problem:

The car ran fine with the alarm but after i removed everything its not starting up now. it just cranks. i do have spark but i think its the fuel delivery problem because i sprayed in some starting fluid in the intake and it fired up and died. I went towards the rear and asked a bud to turn the key but i cant hear the fuel pump priming. also the main fuel relay just clicks. what can it be? main relay? i have no clue im sure i got every part of the alarm out. thanks

More than likely the alarm had the starter kill option wires were connected to the alarm module. Make sure those wires are reconnected.

You took it out and it's still doing it's job just as if a thief ripped out all the wiring. You missed something obviously. Return ALL the wiring to stock.

im pretty sure i took everything out. I fixed the starter and ignition wires so the engine does crank and there is spark. I cant find anything thats connected to the fuel system

Check all the wiring again, you probably missed something. No use in bumping a thread after 1 hour either.

So yes me the wiring noob found the source of the problem. I found kill switch wiring spliced right by the fuel pump plug. I didnt follow the wires since i would of needed to pull the side covers. I just used a butt connector on the two wires and wrapped in electrical tape. Car starts up now perfectly.While i was already fixing the wiring and stuff was open i went a got a updated pgm-fi relay for 25 bucks. worth it IMO thanks for the help guys i really appreciate it.
