Default help! b18 swap into the dx...

we dropped in a b18a into my dx and i took an si wire harness off another crx si i have here (same year mode 89), am i suppose to use the ls computer or could i just use the si computer of my crx si? for some reason it seem like my coil in my distributor is getting power but will not arc it through to create spark, what the hell am i doing wrong??? is the problem caused by the difference in computers, b/c all the other plugs went right in. any help is appreciated...

1. You cannot use the SI harness. It simply will not work. You need to modify your existing DX harness.

Use the LS computer. I do however believe that it will start and somewhat run with the pm6 in it.

Get started on that and we'll go from there.
