If the timing is correct I would suggest seeing if someone you know has a known good ECU and maybe try that. I bought a Crx with a fresh rebuilt B16a in it but didnt run I checked compression , spark , and fuel and everything was fine so I plugged in another ECU my buddy had and that sucker fired up .

**UPDATE** well i got the car to run, i put the dsm 370cc injectors back in (i guess the stock ones i have are junk) but the car now runs like crap, its running like it has a HUGGGGEEE cam in it and the fuel pressure gauge is reading 20ish psi, (stock fuel pump died on me so i upgraded to a BRAND NEW walbro 255)

Anyone have any clue to whats going on?

i checked and checked, and just rechecked the firing order, so its not that.
While the car was running i pulled the spark plug wires one by one the see if it would change, but every time i pulled a wire it would still continue to run like crap with not change of idle or anything, WEIRD!!!

oh and fuel pressure is still and 20 psi, isn't that maddd low?

Injector plugs, make sure you have them installed on the right injector. Friend of mine did that recently with a B16 swap, he just plugged them in, and didn't think about if it was right, or not. He spliced the harness for the injector clips and the wires were long enough to run two injectors down and still look right.

Can anyone think of something. Thank you.
