Ok, here's what happened....

My friend had a h22 swapped 93 prelude(5spd) that ran great, but the body and the rest were shot.... so, he scored a running, automatic, 93 prelude, si, WITH the legendary, AWS, as a shell to remedy this.... sounds pretty straight forward right?

Now, comes the good part....

I get a phone call, "i can't get it started...can you come look at it?" I show up to his place and i take a look at the situation...
The engine and transmission is in the aws body, and it's cranking.... But..... there's no fuel going to the injectors... it sounds like the pump is coming on (my ears are crap) and the ecu was swapped as well....o2 sensor is there, and the vacuum lines are hooked up... What am i forgetting here? Gear selector switch? Clutch switch? CPS? I've been anointed with the task of trouble shooting this... And i know that the solution is staring me in the face...

So, uhhhh..... any ideas?

Check for fuel pressure, either using a Harbor Freight fuel pressure tester, or the dirty way.

Checked that. Im getting fuel all the way up to the rail. Its stopping at the the injectors.... You may now let loose with the ideas... (note: This set up ran strong pre swap)

Im going to get in there tomorrow and get in there deep like... ill take pictures too... i noticed some very questionable wiring tonight when i saw it again...

If you're getting fuel to the rail then fuel is getting to the injectors. It doesn't sound like you know how fuel injectors work.

Look buddy. Im not here to play the flame game... I showed up to troubleshoot a friends project, that i had zero parts in. He lives across town, and im sick with the flu atm... i don't do swaps everyday, my buddy had a monkey who's never touched a honda do the brunt of the work, and Im trying to narrow down where the **** up is and learn something throughout this... and if you don't have an answer, or a constructive reply for my question, its APPERANT that YOU don't know how FORUMS work. Mr.many-posts....

However... if you could give me a push in the right direction for when i do go back up there it'd be greatly appreciated...

Nobody is flaming anyone. You need to check for spark now if you confirmed that fuel is getting to the rail.

Did he say if the engine was actually cranking or not?

First area I would be checking in this situation would be the wiring to/ from the resistor box. It is out of the way, and easy to miss plugging back in.
