Default 91 civic w/b16a1 ecu problem

just got hookin up my motor ,tried to start it and turned the key to acsesory to here the fuel pump kick on and insted of the hum of the pump all i here is a loud buzing sound from my fuel pump relay . so i replaced it since i had an extra and it did the same so i looked to see if i was throwing a code on my ecu and all i get for that is a solid red light no flashes at all what should i look for

i had this prob once before and i could not figure it out,then i went through the wire harness and found that i forgot to put the ground on that the wire harness uses to ground out (located by the water neck that holds the thermostat) so i disconnected the ecu and put the ground wire on and then plug the ecu back in and it started up .so check that ground and if connected then maybe try a diff ecu.

Well that goes to the coolant temperature sensor, of course! There should be a sensor right by the VTEC solenoid that it plugs into. The car will run without it though.
