Default help ASAP, short circuit.

heres what happened:
engine swap in a 95 civic coupe dx.
accidently grounded the positve.
battery fried, blew backup fuse in engine bay box.
put in another battery, and it was half dead, so it would just click the starter.(fuel pump and all still working, just weakly)
switched to a new battery, and now the CEL and fuel pump don't come on when i turn the igntion on.
thus doesn't turn over either.
i check the grounds.
i checked fuses under the dash and in the bay.
nothing....
ECU fry? hah, or what.
help me out. thanks.

Does the oil pressure light turn on with the key in ON(II)? If not, replace fuse 15 under the dash with a known good fuse.

Does the starter crank the engine?

Make sure the thermostat ground wire and the engine-to-transmission ground wire is clean and tight.
