Default need help car wont start

i just recently bought a 96 civic coupe with a b18b ls swap, im really a newbie when it comes to swaps and hondas. Anyways it was running for the first couple weeks i bought it, and now its dead. Im trying to start it and i dont even have a click, all I hear is the radiator fan go on. I have a new battery, a p75 obd2 ecu, checked all fuses..checked all grounds(I think)..when I try to start there is no click, although I do hear a "click" on the ecu
the problems that I noticed:
-on the ecu the green & black wire not connected, dunno what that is
-oil in all spark plugs(I checked the valve cover gasket, and it looks fine)
-wires kinda oily, could this be battery related or ignition related
-push started only worked 1 time, after that, couldnt jump with battery cables still didnt start
-I tested the starter and it was all good still

so what could it be?

Start with the basics. Do you have spark, fuel, air ?
