Default B18c1 won't start... Searched all day sorry gotta post.

What up Honda tech, I've searched all morning read through countless threads and tried many answers given... So I figure it's time to just ask. Here's the scoop - two days ago I went out to run some errands in my 99 ek coupe with the b18c1 swap everything was fine I went to grab some lunch and when I came back the problem started. As I went to turn her on she all of a sudden idled extremely low and a bit rough but not enough to feel it in the cabin. I quickly decided to go straight home, not long after that my check engine light went on, I stopped at a near by shop to see what the code was, my ecu wouldn't talk to the system, which is a first. So I figured I'd just come home and bring it to my uncle in the morning. Now yesterday morning I awaken to drive to my uncles and now as soon as she turns over she immediately turns off, the only way to keep her running is a constant throttle but as soon as you let off the gas she stops. During my search between yesterday and today I've checked compression, changed spark plugs and wires, and even my MAP sensor and still nothing. I have no idea what to do so here we go people show me you knowledge. * most of you may know this civic, it's marklnds slammed vsm coupe. My ecu is a p28 chipped on Crome* also I figured this was the best place to post because I think it's something electrical, if not I apologize.

Check PCV valve and see if it's clogged? Other than that I had something similar while using a piggy back harness for a Field's. Check all your connections and see of some harness came loose or has a wire is partially out.

when the CEL turns on, don't turn the car off yet. As the car is still running and CEL on jump the two-pin plug and read the flashes.
