Default MPFI help.. car won't start

I finished up my conversion and now the car won't start. i'm getting spark and fuel.

the only code i'm getting is 20, ELD. the thing is i have a EDM ED6 and they don't have an ELD, and i'm using a USDM PM6 ecu. is there a way to disable it on the ECU? can this cause the car not to start?

canadian cars dont have an eld after 89 aswell.. and im using an 88 pm6 in my 91 so i get that code .. mine starts, runs just fine. make sure the distributor wiring is all good. check over your wiring over and over. make sure the ecu plugs are making contact with the ecu

im getting code 20 after a mpfi swap as well (using an 89 ecu in a 90 civic) my car starts fine. check your grounds too.
the code 20 causes my car to run in limp mode as well. not great.

The Eld code 20 is because the ECU is not getting signal from pin B19 where the ELD goes on said equipped vehicles, there is probably some ghetto way to by pass it but the easiest way is to get the proper ELD equipped under hood fuse box or just have the ELD removed from the ECU when tuning it.

if the 2 white wires were crossed then you would not be getting spark because one of the white wires is for the ignitor so if it's sparking then you have those right. if your getting spark and fuel it should start because the only other thing you need to start it is air and thats abundant. you gotta have something off somehow
