Default A car wont start thread. Please help.

So awhile back ago my accord was turboed. I decided to return the car to stock. After I replace my dsm injectors with oem ones, The car starts to misfire in cylinders 4 and 3. I changed the distributor cap plug wires. checked the spark plugs, did a compression check, check the valve timing. changed the intake manifold gasket. So i decied to hook up an led light up to the up to the injector wire to see if they are getting a signal. They are getting a signal on all 4 injectors. After I did that test the car wont start. I tried changing back to the dsm injectors and it would just crank and backfire. Now I changed back to a different set of oem injectors, and the car just backfire while its cranking.

Any Ideas? I really need my car running ASAP.

did u get the car tuned when it was turboed? cuz if u did then all you fuel injectors are still tuned to the turbo set up and your air/fuel ratio may be off try get ur ecu retuned or a new ecu

that's what I was gonna say...I don't have any experience with honda turbos but I helped a buddy build a motor for a RX-7 rotary and before we did a turbo it was backfiring and wouldn't run...turns out we had a turbo cpu...and everything was tuned for a turbo (on a natural aspirated)

So I checked the timing belt and every thing is good. Tomorrow I am going to get a timing light and check the ignition timing.
