Either fuel or spark. Check to make sure you have both. Could be your fuel pump or your TFI module is going out. Hard to say.

i got a 255 in the tank and its dumpin plenty of fuel , swapped both the computer and the distributor spark seems to be strong , sounds like plenty of compression , plugged the code reader in just to see what it would spit out and its not getting any power to the port , pretty sure i checked all the grounds , it sucks cuz one thing i hate doing is wiring

ya the injectors are all spraying good it looks like since i pulled the plugs and they are soaken wet so i am going to look more into the spark situation but im wondering why the check engine port isnt getting any power

Check the ground wire directly below the ECU. Sounds like the harness isn't getting a good ground connection.
