My swapped e36 wont start - details below

hey y'all, my name is mathis, im 18 yo and i'm from france.

i recently acquired a 1996 e36 316i sedan swapped with an m50tub20.

The car was originally an automatic, so we swapped the ecu too.

the problem is that the car wont start, i have spark, the cylinders smell like gasoline, the fuel pump runs well. It previously had some ews problem so i made a schunt on some wire from the ecu and after that i had ignitionn, fuel injection and pressure. i also recently changed the crank sensor for a new one. i'm a little bit lost. i will soon run a compression test on it, but the problem is that i've never had a single explosion.

thanks for reading !

P.S : if you have any questionon the problem or something else i'd be glad to answer it !
