Default z6 not starting

ok iv searched and found somebody that ALMOST having the same problem as me but not quite so i want yall opinion just to clear that up......here is that post.....D16z6 Wont start. It cranks, has fuel and spark? What now?

heres a list of what iv done.....

i swapped my z6 in a 95 LX 4 door.....the motor came out of a 90 CRX but when my buddie swapped the z6 in the crx he put pos. on neg. and neg. on pos. like 4 times...his car ran for a day then it would fire back up(kept fryin coils) so he thaught there was a short in the harness so he stripped it gave me the motor and junked the car

iv changed the injectors and swapped sensors on the IM and swapped ECU's for a p28(same one from the CRX)

after swap it cranks but no start so we thaught no spark.....so iv changed plugs wires and whole dizzy...im getting spark but still nothing

i did a compression check.....175psi across the board so head gasket is good but still no start

yes im getting fuel as well and has fresh gas

so next step is i checked the main relay....relay is good along with all fuses under hood and dash

iv tripple checked to make sure all sensors were plugged in and they are

so for some reason when i pulled the po6 i smelt it and it smelt burn so i opened it up and a square resistor in slot R135 was burnt to a crisp...i dont know if it was like that before or after i get the car but when i put the p28 on it..cranks fine but still no start so i unplugged the ecu and tried to start it and when it cranks it sounds the same as when i had the ecu hooked up.....i cracked open the p28 and it LOOKS perfectly fine nothing is burnt up......

if anybody can help me out and give me their opinons on what they think it is please feel free to because i am STUCK.......thanks

Default Re: z6 not starting

Spark should be bright white at all four plugs. Is this what you see?

Are the plug wires installed in the correct firing order on the cap?

Have you checked the mechanical timing?

Any CEL codes?
