Default DOHC ZC SWAP Not Starting

yO last night i finished swapping my dohc zc. I couldnt get it to start, but i knew it was the firing order. Is this the right diagram???



Once i put the spark plug wires in the right place it fired up,but it sounds weak.... any ideas of what you peeps think could be wrong? TIA

P.S.

Im Hating Life!!!! I need to start driving a Honda again! Ive been driving my like 14 HP 77 VW bug WAY TOO LONG.

the code is your map sensor did you remember to hook up your map sensor. if you have the zc wheremap senor is on the thorttle body. take the map sensor plug and make it reach the thorttle body. if not then you need to plug in your vac hose. to the throttle body. and it is hose number 21

I had a similar problem with my zc, is the cam angle sensor wired up right? mine was backwards and i got similar probs. Also, does it always restart? my dizzy ignitor was bad and i got similar problems down the road.
