Default my 1996 dx to y8 non running swap

So I'm lookin for any kind of help here whatsoever. I Have a 96 dx that I dropped a 98 y8 motor into. The y8 was from an auto, my y7 is a stick. I swapped out the intake manifolds. I am using the 2 pin IACV and have moved the pins in the wire harness since i used the auto harness. I also have a p2p ecu. The reason I am writing is because it doesn't start. It is not getting any spark. The coil is brand new and sending voltage (i took one for the team yesterday). The ICM came from a working vehicle and my old one is currently in the car that I took from and it's still running. The battery is not the issue, I tried to start it using a charger. The plugs and wires are brand new. The cap and rotor are brand new. The cap is clear blue. You can see no. 2 firing and nothing else right now. A couple of days ago all four were firing for about 5 minutes and it still wouldn't start. If anybody has any ideas please dear god let me know, this has been frustrating me for a month. Thanks

First off, check to make sure all of your engine grounds are in tact.
