Default Please Help-Car WILL NOT RUN RIGHT

The story.
did a z6 swap in my 90 crx dx...ran good for a while with hacked up wiring, bought an entire plug and play engine harness to fix some things up, in the mean time I changed out the distributor and did a couple other things becasue it wasnt starting...i got it started but it ran like crap, feels like its running in 2 cyls. Im getting fire from all 4, the map sensor is good but its flooding with fuel. floods so much that when I give it gas it barely stays alive. Can someone please help me, car will not throw any flashes so I cant read any codes but the cel is on. Its been way to long for a z6 swap to not work right.

what has me confused is that this motor was running perfect in the previous crx, and I had it running fine in my car..so I dont thinbk I could just fry injectors, I could be wrong, but I dont think so.

it was a complete engine harness, to plug into all the sensors and parts of the z6, and to plug into the stock connectors coming from the firewall. I ALSO have a conversion harness, obd0-obd1 for the p28. The engine harness was created with the conversion harness so there werent any problems.
