So here is the situation. I have had pretty decent luck with my car for the past 3 years but this big problem came up recently. So to fix my previous problem I had to pull my wiring harness to fix a broken injector wire. After I fixed it and put the harness back in, another problem comes up.
When I key on a bunch of stuff starts clicking. I can hear something around the fuel pump clicking, but mainly its this one relay that is clicking. I am not sure what the relay goes to.

Can anyone identify the relay? It is an s14 and the location is right nex to the fusebox under the driver side dash. So is this relay clicking related to my engine wiring harness? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to diagnose this problem?

so no one has a factory s14 manual where they can look this up? Can anyone identify this relay?

I'll bet that your not grounded properly. Check them.

...why did you pull the whole harness to fix one wire?
im betting its not back in right
grounds more than likely

I pulled the whole harness because I didnt know where the wire was broken. I just checked continuity between the injector plug and the the relay and there was none. I kind of do regret pulling the whole harness because when I unwrapped the whole harness, it was broken in a place where I could have easily fixed it in the engine bay.
I have everything grounded correctly on the harness. The two wires on the manifold and then one going to the shock tower. Do you guys know where else I need to check for grounds?

this is a s13 redtop sr20det in a s14 chassis. I still cant believe no one can identify the relay in the picture.

you may wanna check the between the ECU and that Relay...IIRC...that is the fuel pump relay...the ecu kicks out the signal that triggers that fuel pump relay...when you plug your CAS...does the fuel pump kick on for a 2-3 seconds?

I didn't even look at your pictures because the relay is not your problem. You need to work on the grounds... like everyone is telling you.

I am assuming you guys are talking about the grounds on the engine harness. All the grounds are hooked up. The only thing I can think of is the ground wire in the wiring that is broken somewhere in between.

redo your "repaired" injector wiring.

^You want to tell me why. It was properly soldered and heatshrinked.
