Default Totaly lost with b16 swap.

Ok heres the deal. I am doing a JDM B16a1 into a 90 CRX Si. I have everything in. I have the fuel lines hooked up. I have the ecu pinned the way I was told to pin it. I have odb0 everything and the car will not start. I had a leak in my fuel pressure regulator to I changed that out. I had a 1/4 tank of gas that was sorta old. So I drained it and refilled it. As far as I can tell everything that needs to be hooked up is. The VTEC pressure switch, the VTEC oil wired, knock sensor. I have the O2 sensor wired in the ECU but not connected in the engine bay because the plugs do not match. One of the other things I have had to do was switch the motor to obd0. It is an obd1 motor so I went and got a proper dizzy and was told that would be it to make it obdo. So the long and the short of it is I have everything wired but the o2 sensor and all the car does is turn over and will not fire also the fuel pump will not stop priming. I cannot figure out this last one. There are no leaks there is fuel. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. I need to get this thing working as I need it for college in January.

Cliff notes. B16a1, was obd1 now obd0, everything connected will not fire. Fuel pump will not shut stop priming.

you need to change your injectors to ones off the obd0 , or remove your resistor box,

i cant remeber which is which but one of the obd's run peak and hold injectors and the other has saturated also what ecuy u got

if the ecu holds up the car will still start with the obd1 injectors, but yes these should be changed too.

I have the injectors off of the obd0 motor in the b16 so I do not think its that. All fuses are good, dizzy is good, spark is good. Could it be the vaccums? I have seen like two or three ways to hook up the vac lines and would like to know if there is one way that is for sure right. Thanks for the help so far.

he said all it does is turn over .

i read your post and im not sure about this from how u worded things , your not trying to wire up the 4 wire obd1 o2 sensor are you , but even if u were i think it would still fire just run like **** , just a thought . im really stumped by your fuel pump that continues to prime , thats why i thought u might have had the wrong injectors . are u sure your getting fuel out of the injectors ??? bump

he's getting fuel to the fuel rail, when we found out the FPR was leaking (making a hissing sound and smelling like gas) we replaced it and gas did roll out the fuel rail...now whether or not its getting enough pressure to make it through the injectors i dont know.....but he does still have the resistor box for the injectors...but he still has an obd0 wiring harness....and the injectors are obd0 also.....would he still need to remove the resistor box?...

if you are sure the injectors are obd0, then you need that resistor box.

Well the injectors are obd0 and the resitor box is still in there. I have all my grounds hooked up but I will go back and check them. I do not know if any of you are know Ryan from Rywire but he did this swap and wrote a very detailed set of how tos on it. I redid the vac lines like he said today and the thing still would not start. Would it make any diff if the FPR I put on was upside down? It is and AEM unit and that was the only way i could get it to fit. Thank you for all your help guys.
Bump.

Checked grounds. Where is the fuel pump relay? How would I know if it is good or bad?

And if it doesn't, its the ignition.

Can you verify to us that you've checked over the entire dizzy? That it works? That the ignitor is within resistance specs? etc?

Give me a call I'll see if i can't diagnose it over the phone.
From everything you said, I can't find anything that would be the cause, you've stated everything correct. OBD0 Injectors with Resistor Box, OBD0 ECU, OBD0 Distributor.
Firing order could be the culprit.

I'd be better off just talking to you on the phone. I won't have time to check this thread again. #'s on the website, bottom of the front page (rywire.com)

I am sure the dizzy is good. Well at least I take the word of the guy I bought it from. It is brand new I know that, the thing still smelled like fresh plastic and was sooo pretty. Thanks for the offer NikoZai. Thanks ya'll.

I would like to Thank the guys at RyWire for helping me with my motor issues. I also need to eat my words and say that the dizzy was indeed bad. I shipped it back to the guys at Hi-Tech and they told me that the timing for it was way off and they had already fixed it and were shipping it back to be free of charge. I give them a A on customer service and would go to them again for parts. I do not have the Dizzy back yet but as soon as it gets here I will put it in and see what she does. Thanks again for all your help folks!

Those the engine turn over?
Do you get fuel IN the engine? (Wet spark plugs)
Do you have sprak?
Is the fire order correct?!?!?!

If one of this questions is to be answered with NO you should look closer into that direction.

EDIT: OOPS... never mind.
Next time I have to read better *blush*
