Default Crx not Cranking

I need help with cranking my Crx.

I changed the transmission due to input shaft before then I could jump to main relay to get it to crank. Since transmission has been changed I am unable to get the Crx to crank.

I've done multiple things to troubleshoot this issue of no cranking, starter spins it just doesn't crank due to fuel pump not coming on.Also I have no CEL when key in on position. I've put the test light on the plug for the fuel pump one night it was dim now I have nothing, and suggestions?

Things done...
  • New Main Relay
  • Dizzy coil replaced
  • Test light on injector plugs to check ecu working(no light comes on)
  • Ran test light on engine bay fuse box
  • All fuses good in engine bay
  • Changed the fuse box from parts car.
  • Checked for spark
  • New fuel pump
1989 Crx Hf with a D16a6 swap prior to my purchase.

My friend came through that has a honda shop fixed my grounding issues making the CEL come back. Found out that the main relay wiring for fuel pump is messed up. On top of that my ecu went out and my new fuel pump is no good. So I need to either get a new ecu or switch to new ecu and do the conversion.

So I got another Pm6 ecu light is on this one. This ecu keeps the CEL on. I ended up putting another fuel pump in the car and I'm getting power to it, and fuel is coming out of the fuel rail. Only issue is that the injectors aren't spraying any idea what to do? Crx will run off of starter fuel also.
