Wont start, rpm signal to commander but not tach.

Fd on pfc, single turbo

So i have been trying to get this car to start on a harness that was made by a shop and I'm running into some issues. All grounds (one near ecu, 2 in engine bay, chassis to motor) are good (one was loose next to ecu when first trying to start). The car turns over nice, but it feels like its in a limp mode, engine won't catch or cough or anything. Just smooth turns from the starter. I didn't even get a hiccup when i sprayed some carb cleaner in tb. The tach doesn't get any signal when cranking so a friend suggested the cas, but then i checked the commander and its reading a steady 220 rpms when cranking. tps,cas,inj's,ign coils,O2 are all thats connected right now to see if it even runs on this harness... Any takers?

Pull the harness and check continuity for each wire and connector?
