If you use a factory OBDI GSR wiring harness from the engine the car should fire up with no problems. The only thing you may need to wire is vtec as I can't remember if that model is prewired or not.

It sounds like you have other issues.

Is the car turning over? Do you have fuel? Have you checked the plugs, wires, and rotor? Find another OBD-1 VTEC dizzy and swap it to see if it's the actual dizzy that's the problem.

Also, you will have to wire in the VTEC solenoid, the pressure switch, knock sensor, and the secondary butterflies as none of them are present in the chassis harness.

Again, it could be something so simple as something left unplugged somewhere.

check your firing order on your spark plug wires, check all your wiring

I'm sure it's up and running by now, did you make sure the map and TPS sensor weren't put on backwards?
