Default U1000 code will spin over, has spark, no fuel?

Hey guys, I just finished pulling the motor out my car and putting in the new motor, and went to fire it up, and it'll spin over, I have fuel pressure, I KNOW I have spark (don't ask...IT HURT lmao), but when I pulled the plugs it appears as though they were dry as can be, so I'm guessing the fuel injectors aren't firing. So I ran the code, and all I got was U1000. Any idea what this could be? This is KILLING ME. I wanna hear the damn thing run! Also, if it helps, the volt and fuel gauges work, but the oil pressure and water temp don't. I'd say that its a good bet its related. I also swapped computers and that didn't help. I was hoping that was the problem.

ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

Check your fuses, that is a loss of communication code.
Check accessory or cig lighter fuse.

Since you didn't tell us what you are working on or anything else useful.

Might also check the under hood fuses for one labeled Injectors or INJ - I think there are two of them.

Checked those already. I didn't check the cig/acc fuse cause I didn't think it would have anything to do with it, but I've been thinking its a ground strap somewhere.

Check to make sure that you have your three grounds off of the harness attached to the passenger side head.

Checked that. The block is also grounded with a 4 gauge in place of the factory ground for the battery since I relocated it to the back. What's got me is its ONLY fuel injectors and water/oil pressure gauges. The fuel pp primes, I have pressure at the rail according to the gauge, but the injectors won't fire and the 2 gauges won't budge like the rest. I pulled the rail and spun it over just to make sure the injectors weren't firing and sure enough, there not. I really need my car back.
