89 that wont start

[Stevo]

I have purchased a 89 Classic that needs some fixing. Previous owner said it ran great untill one day it didnt like to start anymore. Discovered pushing the shifter all the way forward would get it to start for a while but then just wouldn't start at all. Turned over but thats it. Also he tried to jump another car with it while it wasnt running and thought that might have screwed some things up. Said he believes it needs a new ECU, but have been told by others thats unlikely. When I first started working on it I discovered the fuel pump wires were melted to the exhaust. I wired a battery up to the fuel pump and it fired right up. Since then it has never been able to start again. The problem is that is isnt getting fuel or spark. I have repaired the wires where they were melted going to the fuel pump but it still doesnt work. The relays, fuses and other wiring I believe are in working condition. The coil is fine, yes its full of gas, the inertia switch is down. It will still turn over it just wont start. Any suggestions for this one hit wonder?
