It's possible that the ECU could've gone bad. It has happened to me once. Here's the thread if you want to check it out:

https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/preemptive-diagnosis-need-educated-advice-please-2692707/

If you don't already have an FSM you should download one and find the section for trouble shooting the ECU (and all else related, ignition, fuel pump, etc just in case it turns out the ECU isn't the problem).

Did you try a different ecu yet? different dizzy? people cant just magically diagnose problems till you try the things they suggested then tell us what happened.
