ok so I have a 88 lx 5.0 automatic, fuel injected.. recently took harness and computer out to swap it into a 4cyl swap but things went left on the swap so now I put the harness and computer back in the car now im getting no spark, fuel, injector pulse, don't hear fuel pump priming. so what ive checked so far is the fuel pump itself which is good, distributor works fine(I tried it on a known good car).even swapped computers just to try it out, and still nothing. it cranks but nothing else. I removed aftermarket alarm just to eliminate a security type of issue.

anybody have any ideas or would like to see for yourself this cluster f*ck I have on my hands lol? im open to all opinions

Are all your grounds good? I had the same issue and it ended up being a bad ground, as soon as I got it grounded everything worked.
