I'm assuming you have a OBD 1 ECU, probably a P 28 that may have been converted from a auto P28 to a manual P28. Look for a label on the side of the ECU.
If it's a P28 just get another one at a junkyard for a manual civic.
I traded for a 92 hatch a few weeks back.. Car started I drove it had slight low end hesitation and idled up and down.. Got car home and noticed fuel pump wasn't priming and was running constantly when I key on ignition pulled down relay to see spliced wires undone splice tried new relay pump wouldn't run at all.. Came to find out the prime circuit was burnt up in ecu.. Got another ecu key on ignition pump primes once car starts idles about 2 seconds and dies.. Ran a test light to pump and I'm keeping power at pump until it dies the it primes again.. Going to test fuel pressure later but I'm at a loss with the thing

Triple check for swapped sensor connectors (by connector wire colors). Post pics if you need help. This is the most common cause of blown ECUs following a swap, and will also make the engine run like crap.
