Default b16 wont start after wire tuck. ugh.

Just finally "finished" a wire tuck on my b16 and now it wont start.. its an obd0 b16a1 with an obd1 dizzy and a p28 with hondata s300. It gets spark and it gets fuel.. Its got compression too. But it wont start. And i cant figure out why... When wiring the injectors i hooked all the colored wires up to the right pins on the ecu.. and the red/black wires coming out of each injector plug i hooked up to the injector resistor box. In no particular order. They dont need an order right? They just get constant power from the resistor box as far as i know. Am i wrong here?

And also i saw that i was getting spark at the end of the spark plug wires... but when i took the plug out and put it in the wire i had no spark..so i got new spark plugs. And didnt check to see if the plugs got spark after that it was too late last night... What would cause that?

What else can i test on the motor, or what are the next steps i should take to get it running?

And yes it cranks over and sounds like it wants to start.. but it doesnt.

you are correct...there is no order for the voltage side of the injectors...if i were you, I'd check the ground connection at the thermostat...sounds silly...but that is one of the main ground connections for the main pgm-fi relay. Just my .02. good luck...

I believe there are four wires grounding to that screw...they spider out to the pgm-fi main relay, and to the pcm.
