alright, i did a b18a1 swap in my hatch ( i blew it up a few days ago) anyway i had the same issue... i bet your not getting spark and fuel... 1rst make sure you have the thermostat ground on! 2nd check your fuse box on your shock tower under the hood... i spent 4 ****ing days tryin to figure out why my car wasnt getting spark and fuel and ****, and it was a 30amp fuse... i was sooooo pissed.. those were the only issues i had...
