If it stays running and won't turn off when you aren't cranking the relay might be bad.
When you turn the key on it should run for like 3 seconds then turn off till you crank it.

If it is not working properly yes.
Also check for spark.
Mine was acting funny like that one day and I had no tools to look at it.I thought it was the fuel pump relay till I noticed I had no spark.While messing with it it started and has benn running fine ever since.

The car will run if you spray gas in the TB so it has spark.

Not while I was working on it.
Do you have fuel coming out of the test port?
Try to get your hands on a noid light and test to make sure the injectors are getting signal to fire.

But do you have a negative pulse at the injectors?
Do you have power at the injectors?
