99 d16y7 in a 97 civic ex, wont start HELP
First off, i got this motor because it had a good price and 25k on it. my d16y8 sppun a bearing. I am using my D16Y8 vtec ecu ( only to get running so i can go pick up a y7 ecu) D16y8 complete harness, tb, and intake mani, as well as the stock auto transmission. THe only thing that is new is the bare longblock. I am using my y8 dizzy because they are the same. I am getting spark but it wont start. I am using the y7 injectors out of the 99 d16y7. Also throwing code for vtec malfucntion and IAT. My question is why is it not starting. Is it because harness and ecu are obd2a and injectors are obd2b, or because i am using the VTEC ecu? Any help would be greatly appreciated, stressing out because this is my only car. Oh the car is a 100% stock auto 97 civic ex.

this thing should run although crappy with the vtec ecu on a non vtec motor it should still run
check your plug placment on the dizzy i had that issue once
also maybe check to make sure each injector is spraying fuel
both are issues i have seen and probly the resons this wont start up

well changed the injectors so they are also obd2a. I have fuel pressure at the fuel rail and the fuel pump primes, also getting spark. My questions is that my car is jacked up in the front and i am on E in gas, could all the gas just be at the back and im not getting any......
