Icon6 b16a OBD conversion out of ideas need helpski

Ok. I have a 1990 crx Si w/b16a have been installing a rev hard turbo kit and it is finally competed and sitting. I have bought 450cc injectors and a p28 basemapped for turbo and converted to obd1 with a rywire harness. I have also purchased a TD-44U Dizzy. when i got done the car started. when i went to pull it out of my garage it would bog...i didnt even make it 5 feet out of the garage and it died. NO CEL'S! checked everything but to see if i was getting spark because i have no idea how to check with just one person. I feel that the problem is in the dizzy because after i installed the 450cc injectors when i was still obd0 everything was perfect running like a champ. so.. the wires i have for the dizzy on the engine side are ( yel/grn, blue, blue/yel, Tan, Wht, Wht/blue, Tan/Blue) Ive been searching (on here and on google) and found a few things like https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-crx-ef-civic-1988-1991-3/obd0-obd1-distributor-wiring-1349052/
did what it said and the car would just crank and crank. I found something else and got it to start and thats when the problems started. someone PLEASE help me out. thanks guys

Did you remove the stock resistor box or leave it in?

Are your injectors low or high impendence?

injectors are low impedance and i left the resistor box in. after i installed the injectors i started the car to make sure that they worked correctly and it was fine and it was.

Are you positive that your basemap is set to use the 450 injectors?
Might be worth a try to put stock injectors in and see if it idles.

Dizzy is creating spark so it's not bad.
Could be coil, cap, rotor, or wires that are going on you though.

Why pay a shop to do it when you can do it yourself, save money, and learn more at the same time.
