b18a fired up, now it wont wtf!?!
ok, background
i installed the motor in my 93 da, got it running and everything seemed ok. the car wasnt cooling down when it overheated so today i changed the water pump. i lingned up the mark on the oil pump and the mark on the crankshaft and also put the cam gears with the "up" pointing up and than i installed the timing belt. put everything back together and started the car. it fired right up. was running a little rough so i moved the dizzy all the way towards the frnt of the car and the car shut off. i tried firing it up and nothing, all i saw was smoke coming from exhaust. than i remember that i didnt tightened the crank pulley bolt (i dont know if this matters).
now i get code 15 which is ignition output signal but i get spark! im stumped.
Anyone know what could be wrong? any help is appriciated
sorry for the long paragraph

i dont get code 15 anymore. i still get spark and the car has fuel. no cel light at all. could it be the dizzy timing is off?? i have moved the dizzy and when i move it to the front the motor wants to start and kinda fires up and i give it gas and just a lot of smoke comes out but doesnt fully start!
thanx for trying to help. i really dont know what was wrong but i took the dizzy out, made sure the piston 1 was a TDC and than i tried starting the car and it kinda did, kept trying and gave it has and it started rough but started non the less. got it running good now and now it cools down and everything so im set. thanx again
