Default problem with engine codes

im working on a 99 integra ls, i replaced the head and everything on it put it all back together. firing order is correct. car starts normal but ticks really bad, check engine codes flash 71, 72, 73, 74. means misfire on all cylinders, if it were misfiring why is the car running. i changed the plugs. new plug wires. new cap. new rotor.. double checked the injector plugs to make sure they were in the correct order, tried a few different firing orders to double check.. but still ticks like a plug getting no spark or missing. no backfiring or anything else.. only thing on the car not adjusted is the tps sensor. would that cause it? and car also is in time. belt and ignition.. any insite would be helpfull. thanks guys

Are you sure the distributor isn't key'ed 180 degrees out? It goes on two ways.

cam timing? did you adjust the valves?

using a test light see if your injector is firing.

Check the compression in cyl 3. Had the same problem where I could pull the plug and would not bog down or anything and ended up my cyl 2 had no compression whats so ever due to burnt valves. Let us know what happens

its an ls head so ill just pick another one up for 50 bucks instead of replacing the valves.
