Default engine swap problems

i just swapped a 1992 civic si in to my 1990 civic dx, and when i try to start the engine, it wont start... the motor turns but it wont catch, I checked the timing belt and its perfect, so i have no idea what else it could be... im still using the distributor from the 1990 dx engine, could this be why, please help me out, thanks

Default Re: engine swap problems (vtec_powah)

How did you do the wiring? You know the new engine requires 4 injectors and your car only has 2, right? Also, you'll need an 88-91 Si distributor if you wired for 4 injectors, if you used your intake manifold and stayed with 2 injectors, use the DX distributor.
good luck,
