well first have you verified that its hooked up properly? the wires havent come loose or anything?

then if youve done this pull it off and take it to the parts store to have them test it. most likeliy its bad. then you got three options, rebuild it, buy a new one, or buy one off of this forum.

if you happen to need one i got one here 12$ shipped

Black/Yellow wire from Main Relay w/key to on powers the coils in addition to the injectors.

Take the "push start" Back off,and then check to see if your car is working..(I think you wired it in incorrectly and it is not giving the Relay 12 volts unless you press the button,,and then when you let it go.,it disrupts the Circuit and you don't get 12 volts to run the car.)
NO offence intended,but it sounds like you are going at things Half assed and then Wondering why they don't work.
That is the way that you can screw stuff up.Permanently.
Do a little research on what you intend to do before attempting your modifications.
Good Luck in the meantime.
