First off, get ready to be flamed.

I'll try to help. What ECU are you running? You *should* have a P28, it will say that somewhere on the sticker on the side of the ECU. It's under the carpet on the passenger side floor. You may have a pm6 or something like that, since your car was running with a CRX dizzy and it's MPFI now.
If you have a p28, you need the new dizzy you bought. You will need to convert the plugs to the right ones by either rewiring the harness, rewiring the dizzy plugs, or getting a conversion harness. Since you don't know what you're doing, I would suggest a conversion harness from rywire.com.
If you still have an OBD0 ECU, like the pm6, you really should convert it to a p28 and do it right. That means doing the above, and getting/making a conversion harness and getting a p28. You will be much happier with the car if you do this.

There's lot's of info on here, try searching or start out by reading the FAQ that's stickied at the top of the forum.

You might have a crx motor in your car running on the cx computer. That may be why there is crx dis and the plugs dident match up. My thoughts.
