Default B16 into 91 CRX help...

I am putting a b16 into a 91 crx si and I can't get any spark. Anyone have any tips for me? The distributor is getting ignition power, should be getting signal. Would Cyl Pos. TDC and Crank Pos be the issue? I beleive they are hooked up correct.

the same thing happened to me with my 89dx w/b16 if its not getting spark check out your firing order. might be something as easy as that

If you are using an OBD0 ECU, the codes flash on the LED of ECU.

Even if the firing order was off, I would still get spark....

obd0 or 1

you need to check your wiring from the distributor to the ECU itself, you also of course need to hook up your engine code light, it will be impossible without knowing what the ecu thinks is wrong

i had the same prob when i did my swap it turned out to be the wires from the distributer to the ecu were swithed around.

Default Re: (ea_b16hatchie)

Here is another issue I need solved about this spark issue. The ECU says PW0, if you look on hybrid garage, it says PR3/PW0 pins, the B plug says there are 20 pins, my ECU only has 16? Anyone have an answer for this? What should I do? What ECU Pinout should I be using, if I use the PW0 one on hybrid garage, the knock sensor and ignition output signal would not go to anything because those pins don't go anywhere.
