Default no start

I have a 94 ex coupe w/a jdm GSR in it. I fried my ecu the other day and replaced it. Unfortionately my car won't start. I checked all the fuses and replaced the fried ones. I replaced the distributer cap, rotor pin, and spark plug wires. I'm getting spark. It turns like it wants to start, it just never cranks. Any ideas?

I didn't even think to check the fuel pump. Some random ones. I can't exactly remember. I think there was one for my defrost. I can't really remember.

when you turn your ignition to ON, listen for the humming in the rear of the car. if you cant hear it, get someone to turn the key on for you and get at the rear of the car and listen, if you cant hear it then, you have one of a few problems; bad fuel pump, bad main relay, more blown fuses, or a bad ECU.

thanks. I was going to upgrade my fuel pump as it was. I guess I won't be putting it off.
