AARGG Replaced OMP, and ECU for NOTHING.

Greeeaatt..... Now I'm pissed.
I'm trying to get my car to run after a strange sponateous problem.
The car was idling and sputtered out-
the 100amp fuse blew, and I had toasty (though maybe not fried!!!) resistors in the ECU.
Well, I assumed the oil pump blew the ECU, tested the oil pump- THOUGHT it was bad, but it wasn't. Thought that resistance was supposed to be in Kohms, not ohms!!
Anyways, just put in the new oil pump, and ECU- and STILL NOTHING.
The engine cranks- everything works, but NO SPARK. I can get the fuel pump to run if I just the primer plug.
All fuses are good.

****Here's the problem-
NO output voltage from the ECU to the sensors. I thought it was the ECU, but obvisously it isn't.

I'm guessing it's a wiring problem... something shorted out, and thats what popped the 100amp fuse.
I now have to check to see if the ECU is even getting power!! I'm guessing it isn't because there isn't a bit of spark or anything at the blades when I put the 100amp fuse in.
Any suggestions??

Which sensors? Some get 12V from the main relay, some get 5V from the ECU, some get both. The ECU wiring diagram is your friend.

Yep, time for a systematic check of everything. I'm confused though- I now remember- the ECU IS getting power- since I have 12v to the solenoids at their plugs.
I am just not getting 5v to the sensors (pressure, AFM, TPS)

Hope I didn't get a bum ECU.

The 12V for the solenoids comes from the main relay, not the ECU. The ECU provides a switched ground to operate them.
