it could be your wireing. who did the mpfi wireing? or it could be your main relay. or even your ignition switch.

Rebuild huh, have you checked the compression? does it turn over? what does it do when you try to start it?

even though you bought a new harness doesn't mean it will work. 1st - check your wiring again, if they did or you did a dpfi to mpfi make sure its correct. 2nd -main relay. 3rd - fuel pump. 4th - injectors.

I had this problem with my b20 swap into 89 hatch. It ended up being a ground wire on the back side of the motor under the intake manifold on the intake side. I got it to start sometimes and would drive it, but with the vibrations it lost connection and the car died. Be sure to check all your grounds, it may just be a bad ground. Good luck
