Default 89 Civic Si b18c1 swap ... no fire or fuel from injectors....

Ok, here is the deal, i am gonna call Rywire monday..see if they can help since they modified my engine harness.
But i have everything plugged in, all grounds hooked, firing order is correct,
its in time.
I have a obd1 gsr block, 1st gen b16 head, JG victorX manifold, sat. RC 550's, 3 bar spliced in.
I tried my p28 uberdata ecu, it was tested and i had the chip reburned, still no cel's ... just a solid cel... i tried a p28 i have with a skunk2 chip that i know works and same thing.
I have fuel at the rail... but none coming out of the injectors and no fire from distributor.
I have the Rywire distributor adapter plugs, vtec subharness and JKOBD obd1 adapter harness.
So any ideas... a local guy who knows ef's pretty well was supposed to come look at the wiring for me ..but he is no where to be found now.
Any help is appreciated... i am stumped completly.

Well if zane flaked again, let me know...

We can simply go through the usual process of elimination.

Check spark by cranking and grounding each plug wire to the valve cover - to see if they are actually sparking.

Check the fuel pressure. Is the fuel pump working? Gas in the tank? What does the fuel pressure gauge indicate?

Check main relay. Is it good? Swapped with a known good one?

Usually when I have these problems, the **** is something stupid and easily overlooked.....!

Fixed, turns out i didnt have the ecu ground hooked up...it was wrapped up in some tape on the harness.
I feel uber stupid now.

But i have never put an engine harness on the car while the motor was in... learn something new everyday i guess.
