Default No power to fuel pump relay

Weird issue after installing new heads. The fuel pump gets no power, don't hear it winding up. Plugged in an OBD II code scanner, and turn the key to accessory on position, fuel pump working, but no spark! However, no worky when uplugged, WTF?? Looks like a weird grounding issue, but I have no idear. Any thoughts? We getting power to the fuse boxes, check with multi-meter, also checked at the pump, we are getting power to the harness near the fuel pump.

Make sure you got all the grounds back on that is on the back of the drivers side head.

Thank you..We missed that one, plugged in now. Fuel pump is definitely working, but still not spark to the coil packs. We have power coming from the harness, just no spark from the coils??

Check all your fuses and make sure your crankshaft position sensor is plugged in and the wiring is not damaged.

LOL, thank you for taking it easy on me. I really felt like a jackass when I took that intake off and saw that two of the three leads not grounded to the driver-side head. I was relieved at the same time, as I was not looking forward to anymore diagnosing, just wanted to get the car running.
