main relay problem, check fuse under hood controls ecu, also make sure you are getting spark.

Man it's early... days off I don't get up till 11

Happy New year... anyways,

CEL and oil light will stay on anytime ACC is on and the engine is not running. That's normal cuz it's expecting it to be running but there is no signal from oil press sensor, nor from the crank position sensor.

You were saying engine cranks, but no FUEL and no SPARK. I'd have to second the fuse/relays and/or associated wiring. I know that's of little help, but the symptoms point in that direction.

the fuel pump doesnt whirr up (but hooked up to direct power it does) i do not hear any click from the main relay i have tried several of them and even crossing the fuel pump wires does not work (had to hook up direct power under the back seat to hear it)
the rotor spins and there is no spark (dont know where to set the plug so i set it on the valve cover, a valve cover bolt, and the distributor metal part with three different plugs in three different spots nothing nothing nothing) im so lost here none of the 4 ecus i tried 2 pm5 s and 2 pm6 s none of them would work i guess no light ever came on its messed up where do i look next

why not remove the fuse all together?
