What you're doing is adding stop-start, but only doing anything on the stop side. Killing the injectors/fuel pump will stop the engine, turning them back on doesn't restart it if you're not moving/in gear, just like how your can doesn't start when you turn it to "run". You have to get the engine spinning again, either with the starter motor or the transmission if you're moving.
