I've recently replaced the timing chain guides and tensioner in my rattling KAE. Upon reinstallation of everything, the wire from the distributor got caught in the pulley and ended up shorting out the module. I replaced the distributor, and with success I got a really good spark coming from the coil and actual distributor itself. I now face the problem of no fuel coming to the cylinders. The fuel pump is in great condition, filter has been replaced a month ago, and the injectors never gave me any problems prior to the repair process. The ENG CONT fuse was blown in the fusebox, and has been replaced, with no avail to start. The starter was also replaced a few days ago. The car cranks/turns over, but does not fire up. A mechanic and I tried putting a little gasoline through spark plug 1, and it fired up a little bit with the sound of the exhaust kicking out gases. Compression and timing is correct. Compression test gave me 140-150 on all four. I'm leaning towards the idea that the ECU might have gotten fried in the short, but I'd like any help or pointers for me to get this car running. I thank you all for your time in advance, and any knowledge is well appreciated.
