Check started wires and ground as well. No click or anything? Something is not connected correctly then. Also check all fuses and relays.

Not sure what x2 is, any other numbers/codes? Dont really matter anyway, the car should roll just as well forward as backwards. Might want to double check everything tranny, axles, brakes, starter, and flywheel/clutch.

Are you sure that you connected the ground on the thermo housing? Also if you didn't plug the two wires in from the transmission it might not sense that the clutch pedal in pushed in. Kinda like trying to start your car without pushing the clutch it...nothing happens (unless you're like one of the idiots that bipasses that for a remote start only to see there car take off when they bump the button LMFAO)

Either way, I think there's something wrong the tranny/drivrtrain causing it not to roll like it's stuck in gear or something.

I've had a dohc zc in my Crx and still used a resister box. Wire it up and it should work. Had a feeling the starter was jamming the flywheel. Get an obd1 box and wire it up.

Youre getting a code for injectors so it's an obvious problem. Check to see if ur getting fuel, if u cnt hear it or unsure just disconnect the line that goes into the fuel rail and turn key on to see if fuel comes out. (keep in mind that fuel will shoot out very fast so just do it really quick) if getting fuel either bad injectors: need box. Check timing and spark as well.

Could also be a bad battery cables, positive grounding on something etc.. Ya check the main relay all fuses. Something is not right, maybe a bad ecu?

This. CHECK YOUR GROUNDS. It did it to me as well. Double, triple, check them, sand off the connector points so they're shiny.
