Default starting issues

hey guys i have a '91 hatch w/ d16z6 swap, rywire harness, and virgin p28 ecu... car has, for the most part, run good for the last few months that ive had this motor in... about a week ago i would start getting codes 3, 5, and 7 which have to do with the tps and map sensors... i went to go pick my girl up from work and the car was sitting there idling and all of a sudden it sputters and dies... i tried to start it back up and it fired up but sputtered and died... after a while of doing this some buddies help me push start my car and it fires right up and runs fine for the rest of the night... coming home from dropping her off and my car dies... i give it gas and it sounds worse... no power at all... so i figure im just going to have to push it home... 2 miles down the road and some cops come up and tell me i have to park it in the next driveway and they take me home... next day i try to start it and nothing changes... fires then dies... it will run off of starter fluid so i know its a fuel issue... the fuel pump DOES prime so i know the main relay is good... what else could it be? im thinking its my map, tps, or my ecu... thanks for the help guys!!

1st resolve your codes, then go from there.

Make sure your tps & map sensor plugs are not switched (tps plug is located on the back of the throttle body)

im positive that theyre both on the right sensor... i had them switched when i first swapped my motor but ever since then ive never taken both of them off at the same time... btw i reset the ecu and havent gotten any codes so far... any other ideas? thanks for the help

So your not throwing ANY codes & your car does not run ?
Check for spark, your coil may have died. You are running a obd1 dizzy correct ?

What injectors are you running ? Peak & Hold or Saturated ?

If you are running p&h injectors, do you have the resistor box wired in ?

There are a number of things that could be wrong....
