Have you checked your main EFI fuse to make sure it's not blown? Do you have power at your coil and injectors? Also, how did you do your harness. Did you extend it to go through the firewall in the correct location, or did you cut a new hole?

its possible that you got a bad ECU, but im thinking that you need to re-pin for the 3S ECU. i know the injectors are in the same location, but sensors like G1 might be different. you not having any spark is telling me that the crank pos sensor in the distributor is not reading right.

It sounds like you may not be getting a cylinder position signal (cam or crank position) to the ecu. Verify that you are getting 12v to the coil and to the injectors when the key is on. If so I would suspect either a fried ecu or a cylinder position signal issue.

It is odd that it will start up on the 5sfe ecu. Look at the pinouts for both ecus and see the locations of the g and ne pins. This may hint to your issue.
