Default Wont start

Hey all, I am having a problem with my 97 civic ex. It is the 1.6 non vtec motor, automatic. I just changed the head gasket on it and got it back together and now it won't start.
The things I have checked..
1. getting fuel, pump comes on and pumps fuel.
2. Timing is set right, everything lines up to tdc.
3. I checked the Check Engine Light at the port by the ecu..
I am getting a 0, a soild CEL. I read on another board that it is this...
0 (defined by CEL remaining on steady both without and with the service connector jumped) - indicates ECU power or ground problem when engine will not start; begin by checking the three main relay fuses and the G101 ground attached to the thermostat housing.
I am not sure where the " 3 main relay fuses" would be. My Haynes book is not good at letting me know this.
OK..so any help would be great.
thanks
