Default 1991 2d lx Accord won’t start

Hi i’m looking for help what could be wrong with my accord, I recently did a transmission swap on it and got all the parts back as they should be minus the air box and the spindles because I want to make sure that the axles are engaging before I finish the bottom of the car, but when I turn the key I can hear the it trying to spark but it doesn’t seem to have fuel, I know it has i’m just wondering if maybe there’s a fuel connector I forgot to plug in or anything like that

the car started fine before the whole transmission swap, however now the battery is dead so i’m not sure if there’s anything related to it.

Well, I guess first charge the battery.

#2 Listen for the fuel pump to turn on when you turn on the key to the run position (just before it cranks over). Door closed and radio off helps)
If the answer is no, there are two main things to look for. There is a 2"x1" silver relay under the dash (driver side up high near outer part of car).

#My 93 has issues at the back of the key switch with the fuel pump not turning on. I have to remove key, jiggle lock with key in it etc to get it to pump fuel.

All of the wiring harness is pretty straight forward on that car, so I doubt that you missed anything important.

I can hear the fuel pump whirring on, i’m not sure if the relay can be damaged if I never touched anything under there? It was starting fine before with no problems

I just checked and the starter isn’t engaging it’s only grinding the tip of the fly wheel
