There's no need for jumpers of any kind to ohm test the CAS at the ECU. One meter lead goes to pin 3G (White wire) and the other meter lead to pin 3H (Red wire). Reading is then taken. Then the meter lead from the White wire is shifted to the Blue wire at pin 3E and the second reading is taken. Plug is removed from the ECU for this type of test.

I added a ground straight from the battery to the engine jusing an inch diameter copper wire and replaced the ecm still so start but sounded different. Don't know if it's because of the cold or weak battery so going to charge the battery and retest the trigger at the coils to see if I'm getting any spark

New fuel,fuel filter, new plugs, new computer green yellow wire is going from 0v to 4.96v. Fully charged battery new plug wires, primed the fuel system by jumping the wire on the right finder fuel pump kicks on. Engine 15 amp fuse is good, egr dues is good, will not start. Even used starter spray still will not start.

You need to verify spark at the lead coil. It's good that the G/Y wire is now doing what it's supposed to be but you still need to see if you have spark at the lead coil. And could you remind us if you ever tested compression of the engine.
Also, when using starter spray (1 to 2 seconds at most) it is good to use to deflood an engine but if the engine is flooded then you would want to deactivate the fuel pump as opposed to having it running. To kill the pump all you have to do is pull the circuit opening relay.

Thinking still had bad gas at the injectors when I pulled the plugs they were wet and smelled like varnish. So going to turn it over till I smell good gas then put the plugs in and see if she start in the morning.

He tried starter fluid and it would not start which might mean the engine is severely flooded, the plugs are too wet to fire or the compression is just too low. He was advised to pull the circuit relay to prevent additional fuel from interfering with the deflooding procedure when using starter fluid.

I'm going to say compression is good because can't turn engine over with plugs in it. I tryed to test it again and doing it like a piston engine and nothing.
