can someone help me out with this?
iknow is houldnt be posting up in the ITR section but i figured you guys would be the most mature and helpful on this. so please dont flame me and help me get this startd?
ok so long story short.
bought a ej1 coupe and got myself a b16A. the stamp on the head says 9/1 which means 1991 correct?
well anyways we swaped it in the car and we got a code which was vtec. fixed that and all the other problems. but now the car wont start..
it struggles to turn on, sounds like it has no gas but it primes so thats not it. we switched the map sensors and still nogo. we pulled out the spark plugs and found it was flooded with gasoline and we tried to start the car and it just backfires a lot but still wont crank over fully.
what do you think is wrong? the guy that helped me put the motor in says it could be the ECU but i dont want to belive him because almost every other problem he stated wasnt true so it starting to sound like hes just guessing.
how would i get that unburnd fuel out of my sparkplug area? and what do YOU guys think is wrong??

Well, since you were polite about it 
Spark plug wires in correct order on distributor? Distributor itself in good condition? Try swapping out known-to-be-good dizzy and ECU.

if not, check the timing.

Pull off the distributor cap and see if the rotor screw came loose and fell out.
