Default EG-B18c1 swap-Injectors not firing

I'm currently in the process of swapping my 92 EG SI with a b18c1. I've done this swap before and had no issues. However, this time around I'm getting fuel to the fuel rail but not through my injectors. I know this because I visually inspected my injectors away from the manifold while being cranked and no fuel came out.

I've tried three different ecus p28,p72,and Chipped p72 spec ecu. The distributor is brand new from Autozone. All my grounds are hooked up valve cover, tranny, fuse box, and thermostat ground. I have also searched around a while reading different threads from others with the same issue but could not find a real answer.

I promise once I solve this mystery that I will come back to this thread and post what exactly the problem was so others will have a slight chance in hell in fixing their car.

Any ideas ?

Back probe the injector connector(s) and see if they are getting voltage pulses. There is a procedure for it...

FYI --> The injector connectors get ground not voltage pulses.

check the ground that bolts near the thermostat housing... same thing happened to me and it turned out to be the ground.... most of the ground wires goes into 2 junction underneath the intake man.. and then a ground wire frm there to the ground in the thermostat housing... let us know if you solve this

pulse test as said it's a ground not a signal pulse, tell us what happens after that, do you have a 2nd set of injector you can try too ?

Update

Put a noid light on the injector clips and all injectors lit up and pulsed. I also checked Ohms on the injectors all are at 11.27. Also, tried another fuel main relay for ***** and giggles nothing changed. Decided to pull out my brand new distributor and noticed the two ears that slide into the intake cam were sheered off. I'm getting another from Autozone tomorrow. Hopefully, with a new distributor it should fire right up.

Also, here is a picture of how the swap looks in my engine bay.

ITR airbox and intake arm, ITR 4into1 header with heat shield, Skunk 2 intake manifold, brand new valve cover, p54 A/C bracket, it's pretty basic gsr swap.

After work today I will put in another brand new distributor. If she doesn't start up then I'm going to unplug the coolant sensor just below the distributor to see if that has any effect on start up.

aftermarket distributors are garbage. if the ears are sheered off, that means it was put in 180 off.

As many times as I've put distributors on it finally happened.
