checked wires , replaced fuses , parts, checked specs

so i did what people told me here about checking the resistance etc on the wires, sensors etc , and they were all fine, so now that my car has been sitting for a year im going to finally buy the last part which is a ecu to fix this " no start" problem. which i probbably ruined when i forgot to disconnect the battery while removing it. so i guess this is where my problem lies or is there any other theories

ive had this problem since last fall and just bothered to start fixing it this spring. from what i could tell there is no spark (they showed me how to test it ) and its getting no fuel unless i jumper it directly at the fuel pump plug at the back of the car. So from what forum members told me to do i replaced the main relay right on the drivers side firewall ( they said that could be the problem ) so ive tried to start it and it doesnt start. could it be the Ecu ? i was stupid and forgot to disconnect the battery before i disconnected it. i really want to get back on the road soon and want to have a fun summer driver again.... but if i keep being lazy on fixing this it will never get done so motivation from you guys is always welcomed, but if worst comes to worst i might just tow the car to RPM ( local rotary shop which is 30 min away, which isnt really local but whatever ) .

Is the problem with getting no fuel still ongoing? In the pic below is the Circuit Opening relay located to the right of the steering column. The wire in the top left position should have voltage w/key to start. Does yours. The wire next to it which would be the top center location should have battery voltage w/key to on. Does it?

yes , but local rotor heads have told me its the ecu , since i have replaced the relay on the driver side shock tower , the engine fuse under the dash , the relay under the air box , etc. it wont start when i put the fuel pump on with a seperate battery and the car turning over. no spark , i had 2 spare coils to replace the ones in the car , no dice , i have a spare set of wires , doesnt work , the next thing i thought of was my ecu since i did remember screwing up
