Default Help! crx won't start afer B16 swap

The ecu blinks when I turn it on. All three grounds are hooked up. It has spark and fuel, the firing order is correct. What else could it be.

make sure your timing is correct, and make sure the spark plug wires are going to their correct respective locations. Also, make sure that your battery is charged. Check for voltage at the map sensor as well. gl.

You said your ECU blinks, is it the red light on it? If so, count the blinks (twice, to make sure you dont have 2 or even 3 codes) and check out the codes depending on what OBD you have. It'll tell you why its pissed off and what to fix

It just blinks once when I turn the key on, and that is it. ODB 0 btw.

Check to see if injecters are working. We had a swap with all four injecters frozen!
