Default help me!!! car not starting

Here is my problems,

My car is a 92 civic hatch. It has a 96 ls motor with a gsr transmission. The gsr transmission i just got installed a days ago. Now my car is not starting. It was fine when i drove it from the shop nothing wrong at all I drove it all day. but i tried to start the car today it wouldnt start. Ssometime it would but then it would sputter and sputter little bit more when i would press the gas and turn off. and sometimes it wouldnt even start its just cranks like it going to start. I cant find out what the problem is?
I did check the compression it was at about 195 for all the cylnders. There was a little bit oil on the spark plugs that worries me. Can anyone suggest anything that can be wrong with the car. Any help would be helpfull.

Thanks in advance

what i would do:

1. listen for the fuel pump.

2. check the solders on the main relay.

3. then i would change the spark plugs (sounds like you need to anyway).

4. if it still isn't starting, i would ask a friend with an LS motor to come over and i would put thier distrubutor on my motor and try again.

are you throwing a code?
