Have we determined that these wires are the wires from the starter to the FI brain, (the ones telling the brain that the starter is cranking). Wouldn't these wires being disconnected stop the fuel pump from running while the starter is cranking? And if so after the two relay clicks the pump would stop pumping. And not leave enough gas for the engine to catch, and run.
