Default CRX wont start. HELP! Codes? Swap? Tuck?

So here's the problem. I had a running b16 in my car.

I took the motor out and got the LS.Vtec done and put the motor back in.

I did a bay tuck, but DID NOT cut ANY of the engine harness.

I was throwing codes? 6 , 10, and 15. 6 and 10 are air and water temp. 15 is Ignitor.

I borrowed a friend's Dizzy and tried it again.

This time NO code 15, but the car still WONT start. I know that codes 6 and 10 should have NOTHING do do with it not running.

The spark plugs in it are BRAND NEW, but old. I've had them for maybe 3 months, but were NEVER used. Can spark plugs go bad from sitting?

Other than that any other help?

Thanks in advance.

No, spark plugs will not go bad from sitting. Not for years upon years. As for your trouble starting, check your timing, air, spark, and fuel is all I can think of.

Well, a new update. After the ECU stopped throwing code 15 with the change of the dizzy it started back a few days later.

Where is the ignition out put signal? That's code 15 I believe. Is that in the DIZZY or in the place where you put the key?

Do I need to have the ECU shipped or anything when running LS.Vtec? Or is a stock b16 (pr3 i believe) fine to use.

No,

does the car even turn over? I would doubt that the ls/vtec conversion would cause your car to not start, so you probably hooked something back up incorrectly. This is of course assuming that the head you bought works properly.

The head was on the B16 that was in the car that I drove. So I know it worked.

Based on the codes only code 15 should be a problem... But IDL.
