Default Non to vtec

I just swapped a d16z6 into my del sol s (d15) and now it won't start. I pulled it out of my del sol si. I did not swap in the harness that goes through the fire wall... Other than that, why won't it start? The fuel pump won't come on, and it won't turn over. I'm running a d16z6 with the p28 ecu. The battery is fine, lights come on, and the dash lights dim when you turn the key, but it doesn't even try to turn over.

That happened to me... I forgot to reconnect the ground strap that goes from the valve cover to the front bumper.

SOMEONE REPLIED!!!
I redid both engine grounds, and then added a third one. Figured it couldn't hurt. So now my dash lights come on brighter. The fuel pump is coming on, but still no cranking.
