Welcome to CF!

More data is needed. You must have disconnected or knocked something loose while working on it as well. 6? 8? what?

AH, HA! You may have to reset the security system. If that's activated, the engine will catch and run for about 2-3 seconds, then shut off. IDK the procedure for a 93, but I think it has something to do with locking and unlocking the driver's door several times with the key. That's a PITA if the door tumbler doesn't work.

Maybe someone else here has the "key!" LOL! There is also something about grounding a wire?
