Resistors can't be "backwards", no such thing with them.
If you bypassed the VATS starter relay and the car cranks ans runs then shuts down it isn't VATS. VATS only disables the starter, once you bypass that VATS is no longer an issue. You seem to have other problems. Check all of the wiring down by the starter, you may have a fuseable link down there blown. Other than that, go back and double check everything you did for the opti change, something may have gotten messed up there. If the ECM doesn't see a refrence pulse from the distributor it will shut off the injectors.
