Default 91 crx d15-vtec wont start help

i have a 91 crx si with a d15 v-tec that wont start. i bought it and drove it for a month or two and parked it and went out one day to start it and nothing, it has fuel, it has spark, it cranks, relay works, distributer is good, it has the stock ecu and stock wiring harness..... i think the harness maybe a hack job and a wire may be keeping it from start. any ideas???????

neither of those ecus will plug into your chassis harness unless you have an obd jumperr

when you checked for spark what color was the spark? i found that white spark is weak, a bluish color is what you want. u should jus need a obd0 single cam ecu out of a civic

well what does the engine block say? d15b? and yeah i guess you can rig shizz to work but why do ppl slaughter hondas like that?? the most idiotic retards try wiring engines and sensors themselves when they can probably barely change a tire ...sorry ive been looking for an eg lately and the ones i find are just hacked up crapboxes
