Tracy, by improperly wired do you mean that you intended for the injectors to be hot only when the EC2 has power?  This would create quite a re-wire at this stage.  Although in retrospect I would have done it the way you intended.  My coils are wired the same way – drawing power directly from the main buss.  The biggest problem that I see however is that the EC2 is now on whenever there is power to the main buss and turning off of the engine will occur through fuel starvation.

 

Thanks.

Ed is right, the EC2 should not be turning the injectors on when engine not running (even with the injectors improperly wired straight to 12V).  There have now been at least 2 builders who flew the plane with this setup  (not recommended) and one of them had even forgotten to wire the normal power inputs to the EC2! (definitely not recommended).
