So you are saying that you are running a OBD 2b ECU with a OBD 1 dizzy? If that is the case then thats your problem.

ok?, But if you are running a OBD 2 ECU with a OBD 1 dizzy, it will not run or run like junk. The OBD 2 ECU is looking for sensors that are not there. You see what i am saying?

On B-series engines You can run an OBD1 dis on an OBD2 car and vice versa..for the plugs to fit though you need to change them to whatever harness you are using and the colors are all the same so go one at a time and make sure they are there. Its not a ground problem since your engine is cranking. Are you getting fuel? do you hear the fuel pump priming the lines before you crank the engine?

WCI

I hear the fuel pump priming, and I am getting spark. but when I check the injector pulse it seams to me irregular.

Check compression results. I see you took off the head and put a B16 head onto it. Make sure compression is above at least 150 PSI.

WCI

200 psi across

using the fuel line off a 99 si. do you think that is ok-
