Default 89 B16 swap wireing help

Hi, i recently did a B16A1 wap into my 1989 CRX DX. I am currently having a an issue with no spark.

I replaced the distributor and and checked the wiring all things look good.

any ideas?

FYI.
I used a b16A1 harness to do a MPFI on my DPFI. can that be done or is there more wires that need to be swapped?

is the B16A1 OBD-0 harness the same as taking a SI harness for a MPFI swap on my 89 DX witha DPFI. thanks In dire need of help.

it's got fuel, and if i put the car in the on position, and turnt he dizzy, i can here the injectors firing. but no spark.

where are the grounds?
I have not touched any of the DX harness grounds
i'm probably missing some grounds on the B16 harness side but where are they?

[Edit]
The car wasn't running before i did the swap. but on the old motor it would crank, spark, and blwo fuel but ti was a DPFI. and it didn't run cuz the head was blown?

if you think about it there can only be a few things wrong. here are the things you need to do before you post again.

compression check the new motor

check wiring and make sure the 2 white wires are swapped or in the correct pins at the dizzy plug. check all ecu wiring also.

check for fuel even tho you said you have it. i would pull the fuel rail off and watch every one of them fire as i crank it for a second.

then check the timing belt and see if everything is on there right.

i had the same problem. i went throughit all on my mpfi swapped b16 crx. it was horrible but in the end it was the timing belt that was off like crazy. good luck with it.
