we need more info.. but to put it simply.. there is a ground to the battery at the fender (Smaller gage wire) and the large gage wire should go down to a central spot near the trans or to it directly... I would follow that one.

I was wanting to know where all the grounding points are in the engine. I know about the one behind the battery, just curious where others are.
three things to check...
1. when you put your key in and turn it to turn the battery on/radio whatever but not start it can you hear/feel the MPI relay click
2.do you hear the fuel pump hum when you do step 1
3. if step 2 and step 1 both work, remove cylinder 1 spark plug, and then put it back on cylinder 1's wire and put it near a bolt on the strut tower and crank the car.. if it jumps you have spark, if it doesnt jump then you have no spark and you should let me know and we will trouble shoot from there. if you do have spark then you are possibly not getting fuel or timing is off for some reason

what part of the fuel line is it? also did you replace any part of the fuel line with regular fuel line and not "fuel injected fuel line", because if you did regular fuel line collapses under the pressure
