Default 90 CRX DX ZC Swap,fire on all cylinders, fuel injectors are working, no Start

hey this car was hacked up when i got it, its not my car just doin a repair job. well the harness was hacked, well the inside harness was fixed and converted for mpfi and everything is right, no codes , firing on all four cylinders and fuel all the grounds are good, switched injectors, resistor box, checked all fuses and tried another ecu, this engine came out of a running car... i did not personally do it, i get stuck fixing hack jobs. well anyone got any suggestions on what to check for, oh yea new dizzy, he said he put a new fuel pump in and the car has been under water. ps new harness made from dx harness, 2nd one i have done and its all correct checked it several times, and the timing is right.
not but no backfiring just like one hit when u first try to start it.

Hey, this is somewhat off topic but, I have a ZC powered CRX. Could you point me to a site to buy fuel injectors for it? Thanks
