Default B18 Motor Swap Q's ((Car Not Starting))

My friends just finished doing his B18C5 motor swap in his 93 civic hatch and it will not start?......We have a p28 hooked up right now and everytime we try to start the car it throws a check engine light? We also tried other p28's also that have been chipped for B motor used also???? Does anyone have any thought or suggestions??

if it will not actually crank, then check your grounds the ranny ground is an important one to check.

if it cranks but will not fire, then check your harness grounds, and all of the sensors plugs and check that you have not mixed them up

i think we found out the problem cause our friend was doing a b16a2 swap and it was not starting cause it wasn't getting fuel but the fuel pump was still pressurizing the system......basically the problem was the fuel inlet line was alittle too small for the fuel rail so not enough fuel was able to pass through......
