Default Running on 3 cylinders on H22A4 Swap. Help!!

Ever since I swapped the H22A4 into my 4th gen Prelude, the car ran good for a week, then one of the cylinders died. Right now I'm running on 3 cylinders. I've replaced: Fuel filter, cap and rotor, distributor external coil, spark plug cables, spark plugs. Replacing these do not solve the problem. Is it possible because of the injectors (I'm using the OBDII injectors) or the fuel pump??

Help is appreciated, thanks

have you tried a valve adjustment?

put a long screwdriver to each injector and put your ear to the screwdriver and listen for ticking.

Remove the plug wire and check for spark. You'll either rule the ignition system out, or find the problem. Like 98vtec said, valve adjustment should be routine maintenance.
