Woohoo! I know how you feel now. I was relieved when I got mine running again. I thought you said you checked all the fuses and relays though, haha.

Haha, don't thank me, I didn't even help! Now we all know for future reference that if it only runs when you hold the key, the fuel pump relay is shot.
