Default Engine will not stay start/stay running

Posting this for a buddy that I help out occasionally.
We installed an aquamist meth kit yesterday. Didn't get to finish the install because the pump is bad as it was a used kit..but I think it could be possible some of his wiring was knocked loose or something during the process.

We ran a wiring loom through the boot on the passenger side of the car and he has an SAFC installed (which isn't modifying anything currently, but is hooked up and working). There could have been some wiring that was screwed up when doing that loom install through the boot but I am not sure.

He said that when he tries to start the car later that day after he left it would just start for a split second and shut off. It had started a few times after he left just fine but now it will not.

Does anyone have any ideas? He removed the aquamist wiring loom now. No other modifications were done yesterday during the install besides: pump mounting, jet install into intercooler, and the running of the meth lines and wiring loom.

Update:

He says his SAFC is no longer working, as in, not turning on. I think this may be the culprit.
