Dumb question, but when you installed the new balancer did you make sure you aligned the key in the crankshaft with the balancer before you tightened the bolt down?

Other than that have you checked the basics such as fuses? Was the wire harness that connects to the crank sensor damaged at all? If it got rubbed through somewhere it may be grounding out.
Yeah the key was aligned.

Fuses, yeah, the cps fuse is working. I'm not sure if it could be the wire harness since the sensor is reading rpm.

I have an update though. Got it running using starting fluid. Makes me think fuel issue so checked to see fuel pressure. There is fuel pressure getting to the fuel rail while cranking and while its running on starting fluid, so probably not fuel. While running on starting fluid it is running like **** though, need to give it gas to keep it alive.

Never took the balancer off either but I don't really know what that would solve. I'm beyond confused now, I have no idea what the problem could even possibly be.
