Thanks.
Sorry to hear about your separation. No spark starts back the CPS. I know the electronic part buzzed out, but in situations like this I look at what I've messed with, and go over each item. Unless the immobilizer might have been damaged with the seat out I'd be looking at that last. I'd figure out which wiring harness connections control spark and focus on them, then the wires between them. After this you can have two Sparkys with the car being the second. Hang in there.

Thanks. Never pulled the seats and never touched the relay blocks in the rear trunk. Every wire looks fine. Looks like Durametric time....

I have a Durametric and I'm not sure what good it will do you if the car is not running. It brings up all of the proprietary information, and allows turning on and off items that the computer normally does, like the SAI blower. I'm not sure how much good that will do if the engine is not running. If anyone has any tips on using one to troubleshoot a non-start feel free to chime in.
