Did you replace the entire interior harness to because if you didn't your still missing a few wires.

ummmm. an 89 CRX should not have had a Carb. if it did you have problems.

All CRX's are Ef's 88-91

The SI and DX harness are difrent and will not plu and play

If you had something besides an SI you need to read how to do a MPFI swap in the FAQ section.

worth a shot see if itll run on carb cleaner...if you have spark and fuel its got to start. make sure you removed the resistor box correctly, cuz if not your injectors wont fire-
