Default 92 Civic Si - Won't Start!!!!! HELP

92 Si civic hatch, won't start, New Main relay, Get's Spark, Gets fuel, But won't start, check engine light stays on with or with out the ecu jumper /jumped??
No fuses poped all fuse under dash and hood check out.

Help me pls. I need to drive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S The fuel pump is on it's own ground and power supply the lines running to float sensor get power but not the line to the fuel pump. this is because the clutch safety switch ground was cut , as soon as i hooked this ground back the fuel pump power died.

Help

The clutch safety switch has nothing to do with the main relay/fuel pump, unless somebody altered the wiring.

Have you checked for spark at all 4 plugs? If so, what color is spark?

You have some confusing statements about fuel:

"Gets fuel"

"The fuel pump is on it's own ground and power supply the lines running to float sensor get power but not the line to the fuel pump."

Please provide a lucid explanation for these comments.

If the clutch safety switch is cut the car will not start but then again you are saying some rewiring has been done.
I don't know why peeps cut and make their own wiring fixins when one should find the problem and repair the issue instead of causing more headaches.
If it was me I would replace whats needed to make it oem like it suppose to be and then go from there. Flame away peeps

Yes i have not checked all 4 spark wires, But The spark is strong enough that is shocked the crap out of me when i held the spark plug wire in one hand and the plyers in the other, im 100% sure all 4 are getting spark because i also replaced the dizzy new,

The fuel pump is on its own grown and line of power not plugged in to the harness but the float sensor is.

Can the resistor box be fried or out of wack its turbo i forgot to mention this

P.S the car was running with the ground on the switch cut. throwing no cel at all or when i jumped it.(befor this little problem of mine)

P.S overnight the car just died out of no place at all that's when i did some looking and found the open ground on the clutch switch.

Its like someone has a remote controll and just cut the power the the car some how, all parts i replaced and have installed in the car are in perfect working order , so i don't know why after i grounded the clutch switch the fuel pump lines (harness) dont get power. Now the computer just throws a solid cel.

And yes all relays and fuses and switch's are in working / oem wireing and nothing but a resistor box and 3 bar map sensor are installed in the car with a chipped p28 which where all working order befor i grounded the clutch switch i found after removing the whole dash.

So im stumpped here with the fuel pump on its own power and ground and the rest of the car as it was befor the car died and i fixed the broken ground i found.

You can't be 100% sure unless you actually check for spark at each plug. And you did not mention the color of spark at the plugs.

The fuel pump is on its own grown and line of power not plugged in to the harness but the float sensor is.
Why is the fuel pump not wired to the main relay as it should be? How does the fuel pump get voltage? And the fuel pump is normally grounded via the floor harness. Are you using a different ground?

Check whether fuse 31 or 24 is blown. Test both installed fuses for voltage on both top test tabs.

Spark color = Blue

Pump ground to the cover bolt and powered by the a wire to battery just to test if it worked and the car starts.

But this is like alot of work for something that broke over night.
O well the car can roat . or someone can fix it if they feel like it, im tired of the thing
