Default Swap problem - Crx b16

Were in the middle of doing my friend's swap, And we've hit a snag. Everything's in, the motor cranks, but doesn't start. We're figuring it's a fuel problem, because when you spray starter fluid in the intake (not my idea), it catches, and will backfire. You can also hear a sort of gurgling noise coming from the fpr. Any Ideas?

Is everything wired up? Plugged in? Is it grounded good?(crucial) Got your plug wires in the right places? Lot of things it could be man.

my dizzy was wired 180 degrees off and the car still ran when I sprayed starter fluid in it just ran like ****. So I say double, triple, quadruple check wiring.
