thank you everyone for the input. very appreciated and i got some good news i pulled some codes:

pin 6 - 4, 5, 6, 8
pin 8 - 4, 11, 24
pin 14 - 2, 5, 11

&

i got the car started, running and i even drove it a little without it dying on me at all. as of now it starts right up but the idle is a little shaky but i believe that is the blame of the loud & leaky fuel pumps.

tomorrow i'm gonna start it up again and this time let it warm up to see if it has any warm start problems or anything else for that matter.

one weird thing that happenes is that the wipers operate even if i haven't switched them on when i was cranking it and fuse #7 went out after the short drive. i replaced it and it fired right up again.
also the parking & cluster lights don't work anymore but both the headlights still do?

any ideas as to why that might happen? thanks again in advance!

update @ 10.50am: started her up again, checked for some more codes:
new - pin 3: 3, 12
additional - pin 8: 46, 49
i have also checked my wiring harness and the harness to the ETA. the main is fine, but the ETA will need to be rewired. the idle isn't too crazy but it's not smooth either.
