No fuel injector pulse?

After recently installing a new KA24E into my s13 I've encountered a problem. The engine cranks, it even starts and runs fine on carb cleaner spray, however it has no injector pulse. I don't have a service manual handy so if anyone could help me with fuel system wiring diagrams or if anyone has encountered a similar problem and can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

It's probably the crank angle sensor built into the distributor. The injectors won't fire without signal from it.

The ECU wouldn't allow spark without that either, right? I DO have spark. If that is the problem, do those go bad often? Simply changing the distributor should solve it if thats the case, correct?

Also, I forgot to mention, when I was reconnecting the battery I had a second heavy ground cable but couldn't remember where it came from for the life of me. This couldn't be the cause of my problems could it? I just stuck it on the battery with the main ground cable until I could find a better place for it.

Well, there is a fuse for the injectors.

I opened 2 fuse/relay boxes under the hood and the fuse box under the dash. No blown fuses or bad relays were found.
