    Small Engine fire now no start!

    So i have an M52 swap OB1 in my 87 e30. The other day i noticed the car running like crap 2 miles away from my house. I pop the hood and one of the fuel injectors was leaking i guess the oring went bad. Well i replaced the oring and didnt notice a small puddle of fuel under the car. I start the car and it sparks the fuel and i get a fire in the engine bay. I put it out quick maybe 30 secs max. I had to replace a coil and all my spark plugs bc i got water in the engine bay. Now the car cranks hard and sparks but wont start. I pulled the fuel feed line to the rail and im not getting fuel. My fuel pumped worked before this so it cant be that. Does anyone have an idea what it could be? Maybe a fuel pump relay? I cant tell which one is the fuel pump relay i have 3 of them mounted to the fire wall a white, blue, and red. And the usual ones in the fuse box. Can anyone give suggestions or point in the right direction. Thanks in advance

    those wires near the relay look melted. you may have wreaked a relay, check all your wiring.... if you had a fire odds are some of the wiring is affected. go through the entire harness and replace ALL damaged wires.

    when you turn the key to the run position can you hear the fuel pump prime? it doesnt do it all the time, but if its been sitting for awhile it should.
