Default Distributor problem...

When I built my b20vtec setup, I didnt have a gsr dizzy, so I cut one of the legs of the LS one and used that. Worked fine, but leaked a little oil so I wanted to replace it.

I went and bought myself a referbed gsr dizzy from napa. Put it together threw it on and... nothing. The car made a continuing sound when starting. Like the starter didnt pulse like it usually does, just keeps winding up with no result. At first I thought my t-belt snapped, but (lucky for me) it didnt. So I thought maybe the dizzy was bad. Went and got another one, and the same thing happened.

I have this feeling that its my ecu, but I thought i'd throw it out there and see what you guys thought before I did anything.

I'm pretty sure I didn't but I'll double check. The dizzy only fits on one way. If the fins are oppsite its very hard to get them in. You'd probably have to jam them in there.
