Well here it is. I just rebuild my 91 Talon that was sitting for 3 years due to broken timing belt; since I had the engine apart I deceided to upgrade to all performance parts from the tuning guide in this form - thank for all the great info! Put engine back together and she started right up with no problems. All timing points set correctley and went for a test drive and she ran fine at normal speeds but when I tried it with full throtle I noticed some hesitation and just figured it was due to the upgrades (cams, cam gears, hi-flow fuel rail, valve springs w/titanum retainers, 560cc injectors, super 16G turbo with everythng ported except intake mani, and many more just to paint the picture, so I figured the hesitation was due to the OEM fuel pump, so I replaced it with the 255 and when I went to tried start the engine, it blew the 30 amp ignition fues, so I replaced the fuse and it blew again, so I figured it had to be something I did wrong in the fuel pump install, after rechecking I noticed that the positive wire to the pump had slipped out and had been tightened in between the pump lid and caused a ground, so I repaired the wire, reinstalled the pump, replaced the fuse and the engine will now only turn over. I am getting fuel - I checked to see if the pump was working by the catch can method and ok, can hear the pump, then I replaced the fuel filter, replaced the FPR with a AFPR and nothing, checked for spark and I dont seem to be getting any spark so replaced plugs, wires, coils, power trans unit and nothing PLEASE HELP!!!! I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO or REPLACE NEXT LOL!
 
Did you check your igntion fuse?
If that's OK, & your car was running before your FP wiring incident, then you might have damaged your ECU--check for error codes at your diagnostic port.
