b16a1 swap won't start
Well.. me and my friend just swapped a 1st gen b16a into my 91 ls integra... the problem is is that it won't start obviously. It turns over but it isn't getting spark or fuel. there's a engine harness plug on the passenger side that goes to nothing, same with a chasis harness on the driver side. One light is dimmer than the other.. and there's like a static noise coming from the driver side under the dash.
help is appreciated in advance, i tried searching and couldn't seem to come up with anything specific.

Make sure your tranny and valve cover ground is on and tight. I had teh same problem with my B16a1 swap and that was the fix.

grounds are all tight.... everything appears to be hooked up besides a plug on the chasis harness and one on the engine harness that have nothing to go too. As for wiring harness and ecu i used what hmotorsonline gave me, and i'm guessing it came out of a xsi integra.
Also, i'm wondering if the b16a will run using the b18a ecu and wiring harness.
it would be nice to get this running as it is my daily driver leaving me with out a car, so quick help is much appreciated

well, we kinda need to know exactly what harness you are using and such. sounds to me like you need to check all of your grounds, check your battery ground real good too.
