Default need help bad

ok i already posted a thread about this but this is the updated situation
96 civic ex 5 speed
i (like a dumbass) shorted the main terminal on the starter
just overhauled my car now it wont start about to lose my freakin job and so on, anyway
bought a new ecu, 2 main relays, starter
problem is when i turn the key on the check engine light sometimes comes on and sometimes doesnt, but either time its not running the diagnostic test (no blink indicating the test)
everything else works
cranks over fine, doesnt start
main realy clicks like crazy when trying to start
check engine light doesnt come on at all with the main realy plugged in, but i believe its good ive been throught 2 or 3
speedometer jumps around like crazy when cranking
all fuses and relays are good pretty sure
please help i am stuck

it wont start at all, after i first shorted it it would just barely start but now not at all,
i think your right but the hard part is where is it shorted all fuses and relays good 99%
had the same exact problems with new ecu, main relay, starter, and battery

that speedo jumping around is a definite sign of something not connected right...
