Default wont start - code 16

just dropped out a gsr engine and put on a new clutch and skunk2 intake manifold. now im getting spark but not getting any fuel out of the injectors. the pump seems to be working as there is pressure at the fuel rail when i took it off to verify they weren't working when the engine is turned over. i took out the main relay and the solder joints on it all seem to be fine. all 3 engine grounds are attached and tight running out of ideas here.

What year Civic?

Do the fuel injector connectors have battery voltage with the key in ON(II)?

Did you check for voltage with the key in ON(II)?

When you turn the key to ON(II), do you hear the low humming noise of the fuel pump priming for 2 seconds?

The main relay gets power through 3 different fuses, one under the hood and two under the dash. Are any of these fuses blown?
