Exclamation Issues starting after DLI install

I installed the HKS DLI II on the car before but took it off when i was having issues with the fuel pump-the insulation on the power wire had been rubbed off and was shorting it to the frame. Fixed the wiring issue and hadn't put the DLI back on until recently. Upon starting the car, it idled really rough as though the ignition was installed wrong, so i shut it off and reverified everything was installed correctly. (when installed, the DLI II was making a static noise like from a tv without any reception)

I since took the DLI off and attempted to start it again, the car cranked but wouldn't start, no spark-plenty of fuel-you could smell it in the exhaust. That was mid week.

Since then I recharged the battery and checked all the fuses even the ones in the IPDM... none blown. I attempted to restart the car. there's a "Click" from the IPDM and another that sounds like the starter solenoid is "thinking" about cranking. i also noticed the TB was making a humming sound like it was trying to find it's programmed position. I reset the ecu via the key and tried again and the only thing that was fixed was the throttle body issue that re-calibrated itself when i did the reset.

I've looked up the relays ACM33201 and want to know if anyone else has this issue, if so what was it and should i replace the relays in the IPDM for safety?

When I purchased my hks dli there were wiring issues with the harness that made the car misfire and idle rough. Had my harness replaced by hks with a revised version and everything went smoothly afterwards. Hopefully you have the revised version harness if not you may have the same issue I ran into.
