Default 89 Honda wagovan with b18c1 swap has a hard start issue

i recently swapped a obd1 b18c1 swap into my wagovan. Im using the obd1 p72 gsr ecu, with a jumper harness,adj fuel pressure regulator,walboro 255. now the car is extremely hard to start and will only start if u spray carb cleaner in it. idk what i did wrong i followed the instructions down to the tooth and rechecked my harness to just make sure i dint mess up anywhere. can anyone give me any ideas to what it might be please i would realy like to have this ready for the next honda meet in nj next month thanks and pm or email me suggestion big01fredo2007@yahoo.com thanks

so now you should have 4 injectors, right?

which injectors are you running? obd0? obd1 or obd2?

did you remember to delete the resistor box if you are using obd1 or obd2 injectors? vice versa for obd0 injectors
