Default 92 Civic CX, z6 swap complete, but keeps cutting out... PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

Alright I just finished my brother D16Z6 swap in his 93 CX Hatch.... The motor turns over but if we dont sit there revving it up or with our foot on the gas it will just cut out and die down. It even does this when were hitting the gas, but we just have to hit the gas a little more to save it from dying... PLEASE HELP!!!!

Have you jumped the test harness to check for CEL codes? Could also be that the timing is off.

sounds like the timing is off by a tooth???? (corection: more than one tooth... one tooth wouldn't keep the car from starting)

just double check your timing, make sure the crank is on the TDC mark....the cam gear should be in the up position like so
...I'M MORE THAN CERTAIN THIS HAS BEEN COVERED already but thats cool...post back if it is on time.
