I think maybe you need a resistor box for your injectors. I had the same problem with my crx swap and i just hooked up the resistor box and it started right up.

check your groundsa tooo...the ground near the thermosta housing....if thats not good it will not start, its the ecu ground. run a jump wire from the ground on the thermostat to (-) bat terminal. the best groud in your car in the battery its self. other that that good luck

you should already have a plug for the resistor box on your crx harness but if you don't heres a link to how to install it https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=517274

A resistor box from any Honda will work. Whether its from the dealer or a junkyard.

you can use the crx resistor box. Have you tried starting it with the resisitor box plugged in yet?
