Icon2 93 civic b18a1 help...

Ok guys I'm new here and need some input. I've recently bought a 93 dx with a b18a1 and its by far the worste swap I've ever seen. The car hs a dead miss on #2 cylinder. I checked the firing order and its setup 1423...i know it should be 1342 so I swapped it around and it wouldn't even crank that way. It has a pr4 ecu and the wire harness is a distaster but I'm working on getting a parts car to fix that. I guess my first question is has anyone ever seen why the firing order would be like that? The compression is fine across all cylinders also. I'm going to check the timing next...but I'm clueless as to why it won't run at all when the firing order is set correct. Any help will be great and sorry for any typos I'm using my phone right now.

Ok finally got around to checking the timing it seems the intake side is off one notch. I don't have all my tools from work but maybe I'll be able to set it with what I have and see if that solves some of my issue. Also, the oil pressure sensor isn't even hooked up the wires were broken. The wires are to far gone to splice so I'll have to find a new clip or an entire harness so I can be sure nothing else is broken.

Just set the timing and no luck...still won't run with firing order 1342...only runs the way I got it with firing order 1423. I can't be going crazy at 22 now is there anyone that knows what might be up with this thing??? Anything, heck a shut up and fix it will work with me right now haha.
