Fuel problem
Alright, I sold my car to a guy, and he calls me today and says that it won't start. So I go to help him assess the problem. First thing I think of is that the Main relay is bad, So I brought the other one out of my car pluged it in, and still nothing. Meanwhile its giving me a CEL, but WILL NOT display any error codes. If i press on the main relay to engage it manualy, The CEL light blinks really fast, the relay fights me, and the ECU light blinks with the CEL light. So since I can't read the codes, and I can't hear the fuel pump turn on, We try to hardwire the fuel pump, Do it and the fuel pump turns on, Keep it hardwired, and try to start the car, Fuel injectors aren't firing. Does anybody have some insight?

i had similar problem (relay buzzing and CEL flashing) that was caused by the ground wire at the thermostat housing being loose.

I don't know, Im guessing it has to be the ECU, or mabye a ground. Someone also said that the Alternator fuse, could do this? 
The main relay from my car works in my car, and the main relay in the car I sold him worked before I sold it to him, and it doesn't do shit with either.
