Make sure those relays you pulled out are pluged all the way back in. A lot of times people dont get them plugged back in all the way. And what year eclips edo you have? You can do the key dance thing and get a specific CEL code so we can tell whats going on and maybe help you out.

Same thing happened to me, It'll be okay dont panic-recheck everything and reset your ECU by disconnecting the battery,give it a minute or 2 and reconnect, if it comes back then panic
