Ok so I just finished putting the motor back in and hooking it all up, first problem when I went to turn it over was it had no oil pressure, I have since fixed that with a new gauge.
Now when I go to turn it over it won't start, I have checked for spark and it has a nice spark, rechecked the CPS, and tried again but still no go, I haven't checked for fuel cos I don't know the best place?
Any ideas? Thanks

make sure all your grounds are good, specially the big ones on the intake manifold, and you can fire the fuel pump by bridging 2 of the diagnostic points, im not positive which they are but search you can find it, and as for fuel pressure id say the best place to see if there is any is the fuel line the goes to the pressure regualtor. I may be wrong and if so someone else chime in

check injector pulse with a noid light, Double, triple check the CPS for correct timing with cyl no.1 on TDC. Jump B+ to FB in the diagnostic box and make sure fuel pump is running, you should be able to feel the return line below the intake manifold that comes off the FPR for pressure, squeeze it you should be able to hear and feel the fuel flow. Try to start it then with B+ and FP jumped.

that ground on the intake manifold is probably one of the most important ones as it also houses the ECU ground. just letting you know :)
