Sad day...

Well about a week ago, the bird took a crap on me, ECU doesnt tell the fuel pump to turn on, tried a new ecu and tried rigging up the fuel pump to turn on when I turn the key, so it was running but then we pulled the batt. wire to hook it up properly and the ecu reset and now it just cranks no start. So in the meant time I baught a 88 Cavalier Z24 2.8 Any suguestions on the bird? A 350 swap is out of the question cuz im in the whole $1500 for the cavy

Few quick questions.
Is your SES light on?
Does the SES light even come on now when you turn the key? You know that 3-4 seconds it comes on to say "hi" I am still working.

Did you check all your fuses under dash?
There are two fuses under the hood that run up the passenger side fender, check those, I think there both 20's.
