Default 88 Crx Injectors Not Firing

I swapped a obd1 ls into his 88 crx hf with Si interior and engine harness.... I used a step up, obd1 injectors and distributor... went to start the car and it wouldnt turn over, car has spark and fuel is getting to the fuel rail but the injectors arent spraying... funny thing is all of the injectors are getting power 12 volts, so i am stuck anyone can help need this car running asap.......

I am in the exact same boat as you my friend!!! Did you solder on obd1 injector clips onto the obd0 harness? I am getting 12v to the left side of the injector (looking at the injector from the front of the vehicle). I wonder if I have to reverse them?

welll i think the stripped wire is positive and the solid is negative because thats the one that goes to the ecu for the negative signal..........

I just did an DPFI obd0 to MPFI obd1 swap. Check your wiring again and make sure everything is connected correctly. I found my problem to be that I never moved C1 and C2 over to B10 and B12. Most likely its your distributor wiring. Its not sending the "pulse" to the injectors

striped yellow/black is positive and solid is negative that runs to the ECU.

I checked all my injectors and 12v is on the yellow/black wire on each one. I replaced the ignition switch and main relay and still no luck. Any more ideas? Adi_King: let me know if you find anything!

Do you know if your injectors require a resistor box? Your car should have one on it already, but you may need to remove it.

I am using obd1 injectors so I did remove the injector resistor box. Now the injectors get 12v like they should just no spray.

Yes Adi_king. There should be 4 red/black wires and one yellow/black. Just solder them all together and you then will have 12v at all times to the injectors.

I did notice on rywire's obd0 to obd1 instructions that there is a white wire coming from their harness. It says to connect it to the knock sensor on the back of the block. I still have the stock one hooked up from the si harness. Could this be related to my issue?

just delete the resistor box. if it fixes it, great. if not, then you now know for sure that is not the problem. and probably a dumb question but i assume you are using an obd1 ecu?
