Default crx si with zc just intalled wont fire

k so the problem is this we installed the engine everything bolted up perfect got to the dizzy and rewired it (instructions for the rewire are at the bottom of the page.) Now everything is done or so it seems we try to crank it over and there is a no go. It cranks but the isnt getting spark. I checked this by pulling the spark plug wire shoving a screw driver up and getting it close to metal so it would spark but no go. So my next thing i check was with a test lie i check the plug going to the dizzy but no power there. Then i ran it back to the plug right before it goes in to the fire wall and what do you know know power there. Checked the main relay to see if that was fried but that was fine. So now i am lost because i know the old dizzy got power just fine. Anyone have any ideas.


1.The Civic wiring on the distributor has an 8 pin connector and a 2 pin connector. The 2 pin connector from the Civic wiring harness will connect to the ZC disributor.
2. Pop out the 8 pin connector off the Civic engine wiring harness
3.This will expose 7 wires.
White/thin
White/thin
Orange
Orange/Blue stripe
White/Blue stripe
Blue/Yellow stripe
Blue/Green stripe
4. Pop the pins out of the square ZC plug, This will expose 5 wires.
White/Thick
White/Thin
Orange
Orange/Blue stripe
White/Blue stripe
5.Now you simply place the five pins in the square harness and get rid of the round Civic one.
6.You now have two extra wires which are Blue/Yellow and Blue/Green
7. These two wires go to the green plug on the crank angle sensor which comes off the exhaust cam. You’ll need to splice the wires, but make sure to use bullet connectors. If you don’t you will lose to much power through the connection and the computer may throw a code.
