Sportage(Kia) starting problems fixed Can't Post

I took off the relays and cleaned all the contacts with a small file. I blew air into that area then. I then took apart the relays. They have a plastic box over them. Relays are just switches. I cleaned the contacts with the file and blew air into them. I put the plastic back on and plugged the relays back into the socket. These relays are related to the fuel injectors some how. There are two of them.
I haven't had any problems since. It starts every time. Even in subZero weather. Before it would just crank with no starting. I would try from three to 10 times before it would start.
Now is alright. The mechanic could not fix it for me. He had it for three days. Dogs.
I just thought about it and it just came to me. Clean the copper connections. That's what I tried and that's what worked.
