Default code 15 help

the car has sat for about 6 months, and i finally got exhaust put on it, and now when i go to start it, it throws a code 15 for ignition signal. i replaced the ignitor, and that didnt help. the car has an aftermarket ignition box and coil, when i turn the key on, the light on the ignition box lights up so it should be good. could it be the coil?

Do you still have it boosted? If not you should remove it and return it to stock.

Does the engine start and run?

Is it a 00 Civic? What's the set up?

Provide all pertinent information about your car and engine:

no its not boosted anymore.
the car will crank, but not turn over and start
car has a crome p28 with a friends type-r on 440's tune in it. i figure it would be pretty close so i could atleast start it and get a wideband on it to clean it up a lil bit.

car was previously on an aem ems and 6 months ago, it would start with the tune in it, but now it wont start even if i plug the aem into it

its a 2000 civic si
setup:

obd2 gsr swap
str block guard
cp 81.5mm 10:1 pistons
crower rods
obd2 gsr head
mild port and head has been milled
full ferrea valvetrain
type-r cams
edelbrock im
dsm 440cc injectors
crane fireball ignition box and crane lx91 coil
msd cap n rotor button

gsr trans
dss 3.9 axles

Did the replacement fuse blow immediately after installation?

Does the Blk/Yel wire attached to the coil and ICM have battery voltage with the key turned to ON(II)?

Maybe the problem is in the wrong map preloaded on a computer. I had, once at each error number 15 when editing the map in Crome forgot to disable the ELD. The engine ignite normally but cut off the ignition at 3500 rpm. Maybe there is something in your map more mess.

Post your voltage tests using a multimeter. Without those results, it difficult to help you more.
