Default d16z6 swap in crx no spark/ electrical fire

after reading threw countless pages of searched info in the form i decided to start my own thread, so please dont tell me to do my research, i have and it has me and a few other good honda guys stumped.

i did a d16z6 swap in my crx and as i states i have no spark, i did the swap correctly with a rywire obd1 jumper harness from the ecu and i made my own dizzy jumper harness ,
i have changed dizzys 3 times changed the cap 3 times and the rotor twice, i have tripple checked the 3 ground and they are good, i have changed the main relay twice and they are both good, the only thing i can think is that i messed up my jumper harness, from the obdo connector to the obd1 its color to color except the the larger white wire goes to the yellow and green wire on the obd1, is this correct? i searchd this site and that is the info i found..so im just double checking that the only i havent changed is the ecu

Does voltage reach the coil and igniter unit?

Any CEL codes thrown?

Does the fuel pump prime?

Both wires attached to the coil should have battery voltage.

Ignitor could be bad....any codes? Have you made sure your home made dizzy jumper is actually making a good connection?

And just my two cents, don't **** around with the msd crap. It's more **** to go wrong and to fix and trouble shoot.

i figured out my problem i just dont know how to go about fixing it, i dont have a ground coming out of the dizzy, if u touch the ground with the test light it barley lights up like an incomplete circuit, but if u jump a wire from there to the motor the light goes out and completes the circuit , but you cant leave it like that becuase clearly that wont work.,, how do i fix this???

sounds like you need to give that DIY dist harness a look and pull up diagrams on all this. Not trying to sound rude but this kind of swap is covered in detail in multiple threads on here.

Best advice, look at a crx obd1 conversion thread and compare all your work to theirs. I used to do this but with about 3-4 threads to compare steps since we all work a little different. Find the common denominators and go with those.

please post a pic of your bay and conversion as well as the parts you used so we can get a better idea and be able to help.

cliff notes: search for obd1 crx conversion


best of luck
