wiring harness damaged, car wont run

I have a 1990 Camaro with 305 throttle body injection. While driving down the road, a belt in front passenger tire broke. Tore wheel well out. Snatched out main wiring harness to ECM and broke several wires. We have replaced ECM, and bad spots in wires. Car will run as long as gas is poured into throttle body. Guessing something in fuel system is to blame. No fuse for fuel pump in main fuse block. Have no idea where else to look for fuse. Also, to check fuel pump by ALDL connector, I have no wire running into G block. We're questioning whether the anti-theft system was activated during all this. Service books say that before disconnecting negative battery terminal to disengage anti-theft system, but doesn't say how to or how to reset it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Passenger side fender wall should have a a wire connector going on it, unplug the connector you'll find a fuse (should be a 20) and its for your fuel pump and ECM. Sounds like that is your problem to me.

Thanks for the help. Found the fuse late last night by the radiator reservoir and battery. Sure enough, the fuse was blown. Changed the fuse, jumped her off and she runs. Now the timing seems to off a little. Any suggestions for that without going to a mechanic. Thanks
