Having an issue I can't track down, for some reason I randomly lost spark to the car. Here's the cliff notes of what I've done so far to solve it:

Spark plugs replaced
(COP system, no PTU) Coils replaced -
CAS replaced
MPI relay replaced
ECU replaced

MPI powers fuel pump (clicks on prime, clicks off at stop)
ECU fully boots up and can connect to it, CEL comes on/Boost gauge to zero
IGN, MPI, #19 fuses good
12v to each coil connector with key on

Power doesn't seem to be the issue but signal to fire is. If I take the CAS out and turn by hand the injectors fire so the CAS is working, what am I missing?
Car was idling for about 10mins, went to move the car and it stalled. Will not restart. Any assistance would be appreciated.

So after multiple test runs, some frustrating results, and one briefly shocking experience I have narrowed down all these symptoms to a broken-down solder joint on the ground wire to the cop harness. Going to clean and repair this weekend so hopefully see her fire back up.
Thank you @Tyeler18 & @Anfurnyy, I gained some knowledge and new a tool from your help.
Next is learning G4X, wasn't planning on using it yet but now that it's in I'm getting familiar with the software.
I set configured mine all up with the inputs and outputs and what not. But I have a plug n play g4+. BUT mines got all sorts of extra stuff like drive by wire, kiggly 12-1 trigger wheel, evospec crank sensor, a clutch slipper. All sorts of stuff

I didn't tune my car though. I have dabbled in it a bit. Enough to get my car running and driving and light pulls.
I ordered the knock sensor and the CAN WB controller. I want a digital dash, do you have one? I like the Powertune model.
