Default Did wire tuck, now engine won't start. PLEASE HELP.

Hey guys/gals, i'm a long time honda-tech reader, but first time poster. anyhow as the topic reads, i just completed an engine harness tuck/hide job on my 91 crx standard. i decided to do it because the shop i had do my swap a couple years back left the bay a little on the messy side. not only that, but i decided to upgrade and convert to OBD1. so i got all the necessary components (ecu harness adapter, dist., o2, hondata, RC injectors, spare OBD1 harness) and got to work. after all connections were redone, here's where it stands:

i have fuel pressure and power to the starter. but no spark.

also, when the key is in pos2, theres a slight "humming" noise coming from under the steering column area where the fuses are.

so here's where i think i went wrong. i removed the injector resistor box since i'm running the OBD1 injectors and i think i may have funked up the wiring on the "hot" yellow/black wires that go to the 8 wire junction (i'm pretty sure it's 8, i'm at work so i can't see it).

can anybody please help with any diagrams/experience with the driver side of the harness to convert to the newer style injectors? would/could this be the potential problem causing my car to not start? i know i'm probably missing some vital information to further diagnose it, but maybe someone can get me started in the right direction.

any help will be greatly appreciated. TIA.

Tony

Sounds like maybe some wiring came loose or damaged during the tuck. It could be possible that you freyed a wire on some sheet metal somewhere and its causing it to have a faulty ground. Or perhaps you broke a connector or a wire crimp. I would retrace your steps. That would sound like the most possible problem
