Default rsx thats getting no spark

Ok, so heres the deal, i did a swap in a rsx. so this car goes from a type s motor, to a k24 with type s head, now to a base k20a3 ( yes i know! ). not sure if this motor came out of a base rsx, or civic. now the k24 blew out a spark plug out of the head, blew up the coil pack, and the motor was shot, so in went the k20a3. so, the car is getting fuel, ( i can smell it) but no spark. what happend? what do i need to do? i've done every thing i can think of and checked what i can. some one said the code for the radio, but that didnt work. i dont know if its maybe the ecu, any hints?
thanks for any help that you guys can offer

$1300 to fix a fuse. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone on the boards that will believe a statement like that. If the "fuse" you're reffering to is the ECU then that would make sense.

When I wanted Acura to diagnose my rich fuel system they told me my plugs were fouled and to change them and come back. No **** they were fouled when it's running rich; that's an effect, not the cause. Cause was an injector. So $40 for nothing. The a2 swap is running perfect now so whatever.

hey, its a girls car. they would over charge because of the fact that she would pay it. need i say more? the fuse is behind the glove box, in set with the relays.
