Default $20 to the person who can help me out...

I will seriously pay someone $20 to the person who can tell me whats wrong with my car and make it work...Im just getting so frustrated with this motor, I dont know what to do.
Ok, here's my problem, I just swapped in a 92 B18A into a 91 Crx SI...I first went to do the obd-1 route, wired everything up to run obd-1. But when I went to start it, it would start, then it wouldnt start again, I'd have to wait a couple hours for it to start up again. So then I wired everything back up to non-obd, and I am still running into the same problems. And when it does start, it runs like crap. It sounds like its misfiring, blows a lot of black smoke, and I cant rev it up past 4500-5000 rpms...
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!

This sounds like a common 2nd Gen rx7 problem. On some of the rex's, when you turn them off, hot, it keeps pumping a little fuel...A leak fro mthe injectors. You then cannot start the car again unitl it cools or the flooding goes away. A common fix for the rx7 guys is to run a switch to the fuel pump and kepp it off, crank it a few tmes, then while cranking throw the switch, and she'll fire right up. Although I've never heard of a Honda having aproblem like this, and woul d never think that this could happen to a honda, I was just adding as reference material.

check the clearance with your camshafts to your valves... same thing happened to my friends motor after it got fired up once... he checked the camshaft clearances and found out that it was off... give that a try.
