no start very confusing

i hope that this makes sense i have a 91 camaro tpi motor with a camaro engine wiring harness the dash in the car is from a 91 firebird that had a tbi motor in it and i bought one of those adapteds that go in between the chip and the computer and had the vats deleted with that adapter but im not sure it it is working because i can only get the engine to turn when i put a jumper wire in the starter enable relay i was hoping somebody would have an idea as to why i am not getting any spark or fuel thanks

I think the fuel pump is shorting in the tank could the dash have any thing to do with the problem

well i have power at the coil and power going to the pump and a good ground so i think the fuel pump is bad almost every thing as far as acc work with the fire bird dash go i will compare the dash wires and see what i get so after you switched did your car run?
