Default D16y7 wont start

blew my old dx motor and swapped a 99lx motor in. everything is connected and i know that it is getting spark and fuel and the motor turns over fine, but it will not run.i have the distributor matched to TDC but i'm unsure of the plug wires proper position. a picture, diagram. or good description would really help. thanks

I have the plugs in the right order. I'm getting pressure at the fuel return line so i should be getting pressure at the injectors right? my check engine light does NOT stay on. Any suggestions?

so are you saying that it turns over, and doesn't start, or that it turns over, fires up and then shuts off?

I've got trans ground, and the ground that runs from the head to the chassis.
Should the one from the head be moved to valve cover?

There's also a harness ground that goes to the thermostat housing.
