Check all the main wires to the ECU, there are 3 power wires I believe.
1.) Black with white stripe (+12V when Ignition is 'ON')
2.) Blue with red stripe (Constant - for memory storage, always +12V)
3.) Blue with white stripe (Connected to the room fuse)
This may be a grounding issue also.
From here, the FSM is going to be your best bet.

FSM = Factory Service Manual
My bet is you are missing a ground. There's a couple of shared ground wires in the engine harness that are overlooked sometimes. Review your work and find the power wires for the PFC like stated above to make sure they are hot, too.

in doing some looking around im starting to think it might be the ignition switch.
i have power to accessories and starter but not in the on position. in looking around it sounds like i have a bad connection on the on switch connectors / pins.
if anyone has any incite on this plz do share

Ok, back to original time. Swap out the Apexi ECU for the other ECU (Stock?) that ran your car before the swap and see if it starts the engine. We are gonna fix this. Let us know what happens. From your response, I'll assume a 20 year old emission harness is in place.
Side note: Have you done the required ECU pin-out mods for the Apexi ECU upgrade?
