Default B18C1 swap trouble

I swapped a b18c1 into my 90 CRX and I dont have any spark. My distributer is fine and I obviously changed the spark plugs and wires.. The wiring for the Dizzy harness was professionally done. I ohmed out the coil, and its getting power. Any ideas what it might be. Im also not getting any fuel being pumped to the engine..
Thanks.

The engine should have 3 grounds on it. They all must be clean and good gounds.
The one often missed it the one in the rear near the throttle body, on the water spigot.

If they are all good, find someone else with a good dizzy. If your car is OBD1, a GSR, DelSol or LS dizzy will fit for testing.

My swap had the same problem. The Dizzy tested fine but when I swapped in a known good one, it started and ran.

Check the starter. There's a plug that has to be connected for the main relay to work.

"I ohmed out the coil, and its getting power" well are you sure you checked for the right thing? if you ohmed the coil all you checked for was resistance in the coil. you should be checking for a volt reading.

I got the fuel pump to turn on. All of my grounds are good. I dont think I have the CKP in the right place on the jumper harness..could that be a reason? Do you know where I can get a OBD0 pin-out? I alrready have one for the P72..
Thanks
