Default 89 EF hatch NO start D16Z6 sWAP ....IDEAS???

1989 Civic SI hatch
d16z6 swap
Obd1 dizzy/ ecu / injector plugs/ distributor plugs
Rywire OBD0 to OBD1 MPFI jumper harness
-Firing order correct
-grounds all there
-fuses are all good
-Main relay?
-i have not had time to check for codes since i got work right now.....will do when i get back

All wiring is correct on the distributor plugs, i have verified this over and over.... fuses look good, grounds are all connected. battery has juice, and i attempted to jump start to make sure this was not an issue at all. any ideas would help......please dont ask me ?'s unless you plan to reply to my answers.... a million honda brains is better than one for ideas......lets see what we come up with.....

first things first. you said you checked the wires on the distributor. there are 2 wires a white and cream colored wire on the distributor and engine harness. did those get swapped around? when i did my first obd1 conversion i had the same problem, swapped the wires and it started right up. try that. if you still have the same problem try another ecu, your current ecu might be bad.
