Default help with ground

I was wondering where the main ground for ecu is on an 850 turbo? I was told there is one under passenger side headlight but i am not seeing anything when i take the light out. I had someone swap engine, now not getting spark and check engine light is not coming on with key, assuming ecu not getting power....?

31/33 in the diagram is the ground for the ecu. It's on the block behind/near the starter.

well it starts now but shuts off right away, the fuel pump controller by top intercooler hose was coming apart....the plastic broke off. I need to know which wires go where? thinking this is the issue...

Looks like that's correct, but that's not the fuel pump relay - the fuel pump relay is 2/23, located under the fuse box cover - The fuel pump is 6/31

See my edit of previous post, and you won't get a "no fuel pressure" , or "no power to fuel pump" code. The system's not smart enough. What is the fuel pressure?

Or you could measure the voltage at the pump and check fuel pressure. Or with a short piece of wire with 2 male spade terminals attached jump terminals 1 and 3 in the relay socket to energize the pump all the time (just to test with)
