CHeck all the wiring at the dizzy and the ones going to the ecu since you had to do the dpfi-mpfi swap. Make sure all your grounds are being used. The thermostat housing ground is a common one to overlook.

in the engine bay you should have a couple of grounds going to the chassis. You should have one on the valve cover, tranny, and thermostat housing. I'm not sure about the valve cover or tranny, but i am sure that it wont crank if you dont use the thermostat ground.

it doesnt make a difference all that much that ur running a P28 cuz all its gonna do is allow u to hit vtec...but u should get the right ecu soon so that ur getting the right amount of fuel

you mostly likely will want to use a p72(gsr ecu) or get the p28 chipped

SEARCH, dont expect people to give you all the answers. top right hand corner click the button that says search, not that my rant is over

you have fuel, you have spark, what about your timing? or compression
