Default 98 Predlude - JDM Swap wont start

I have just installed a JDM H22A in my 98 base model prelude. I checked all the wiring 3 times, I dont see anything wrong. Car turns, starts briefly and then immediatly shuts off.
I did swap my intake from my old engine and purchased a brand new oil pump to put on the crank sensor.
One thing I noticed is my clutch pedel has no tension, it falls directly to the floor, I have to lift it by hand. I did not bleed the slave cylinder yet.

Can anyone point me to the right direction. Im sure some of you have done this swap.

thanks

i got it started, by unpluging the sensors and plugging them back in
It runs pretty rough, if I gas it to 3000rpm it wants to stall, still ooking into it
also, I still cant bleed the clutch slave

Your timing sounds off. And you are going to have to bleed that clutch. Compared to swapping an engine, its as simple as Windexing your windows.
