Default car will not start.

Here is my problem, my car will no start after i did a swap. The car is not getting spark and fuel. The car is turning over and the injector clips are getting 12v power but not noiding. The ecu is powering up and i am getting power to the coil. I have swapped out the coil, bought a new distributor(which came with a ignitor) and swapped out the ecu for a stock p28 (the other p28 has hondata s300) with no luck of getting spark and getting the injectors to noid. . The car is for the most part a full race car so the heater motor, windshield wiper motors and heater controlls have been removed and i have done a mild wire tuck (the only wires i cut was to the headlights which still work) and the battery has been relocated o the back of the car.

Does this sound like a ground problem? Is there any other major grounding points on or in the car besides the thermastat housing ground? I am open for any ideas

Yeah it sounded like a ground from the start. The other major ground is from the valve cover to the car body. Check those and the battery-to-body ground strap. Use a meter to test the resistance across any grounds. It should have virtually no resistance.
