No spark, no fuel, no start! Any advice
A little info:
-year 2000
-Car has a swapped f20 because original motor blew (previous owner)
-cars been sitting for over a year to my understanding.
-took the car a few weeks back, towed to my place since It didn't run with new motor (wiring needed to be connected..so I thought)
-running a 3bar map (used to be boosted but currently isn't)
-kpro (laptop connects to kpro)
-coil packs get power 12v
-battery charged up
-fuel pump primes
*multipler/vtec pressure sensor error.
-tested if the engine is being grounded and I got 12v ok the meter.
-marren 750 injectors a/resistor box.
Alright so, I plugged everything up to kpro. Checked 3 grounds - driver ground below abs unit, subframe ground to the block, And the rear g101 ground which was on the wrong spot so I moved it to the middle of the head. But still no spark? I checked the spark plugs for fuel and it doesn't look or smell like there is any. Iv checked the fuel rail and it's full of fuel.
So I'm stumped on this? Would the engine ground from the block to subframe cause all of this if it's corroded or old?
Cluster lights work fine, there's no immobilizer i don't think since it has an aftermarket alarm which is disabled.
Only thing I haven't tested is the crank sensor. But I'm thinking it's someting else if my injectors arnt working.
Any help would be appreciated. Been tryna trouble shoot this for 3 days! Lol..

Alright I think i found the problem.. I checked the cam trigger wheel if it was swapped out for kpro to run.. and it was still the AP1 wheel.. which leads me to believe that the crank wheel has not been swapped for the AP2 one as well.. if anyone is running Kpro verify that if these are not swapped the car will not get spark correct? it seems like the crank sensor sends signal for the sparks to well..spark at a certain time haha.
