Icon3 D16y8 in 88 Hatch Problems!!

Hey I got a 88 hatch that i was going to build up but for now i need a daily driver. I bought a d16y8 from a friend and i decided instead of having to buy a obd0-obd1 harness i would just use the d15 dizzy and the d15 intake manifold. All the sensors and stuff hook up and i have replaced all the gaskets but for some reason the car wont run. any suggestions? I need help asap . I got school starting in about 3 weeks.

Thanks,
Jdmhondanation

Are all you grounds hooked up make sure the grounds that go on the termostat are connected well bolted down. Make sure the ground from the tranny to frame is connected and make sure the ground from the valve cover to the radiator support is connected. If that all checks out ok. Make sure all the plugs are pluget in and in the correct places. And make sure your spark plug wire are in the right order
