ECM Failure AGAIN!

Can someone help me out with this problem,I'm trying to get my 88Gta going after sitting for awhile.I had a problem with no fuel injection signal I traced that down to a broken wire fixed that.when I was trying to start my car and It popped over ran for 5 sec. died I tried to restart and no luck .I noticed I had no SES light and figured the computer went bad so i bought another reman computer hooked it up and had a ses light that now worked but no spark or fuel injection.I traced out the problem with the spark it was the dist module replaced it,and now I go to restart the car and no ses light and no fuel injection signal still .The only thing I can think of is the aftermarket alarm messing with the fuel injection ,the fuel pump runs and I can smell fuel ,Haven't checked pressure lately but when I was originally trying to start the car it had 45 psi .I'm starting to get a little pissed off at it though so any help is appreciated.

Make sure there is power at all the required ECM terminals. There should be a constant 12V at terminals B1, C16, and good grounds at terminals A12, D!, D3, D6, D10, and D13. There should be 12V whenever the ignition is on at terminal B6.

It seems to be just the injector driver ckts because I have power at the injectors but it seems like the ecm is not switching the grnd for them .Maybe I have a corroded grnd and just need to clean them .I think the new ecm is toast though,I'll have to see if I can get it replaced under warranty.
