Default B18c engine swap no start

Just finished installing my engine in my 99ek and no start, there's fuel but no spark
I'm using my 99 ex harness and stock p2p ecu
My engine is 96 Jdm b18c type r, are the distributor plug the same on these cars, it plugs in perfect just wondering if I have to require the distributor
Both are odb2 distributor

The dizzy plugs are different from 99-00 sohc to 96-98 and 99-00. The 99-00 sohc uses an 8 wire plug and the 96-98 sohc and 99-00si uses a 10 wire plug.



It could be the ecu that is not letting it start.

make sure you get the right ECU for starters.. that P2P is for the 1.6L single cam. your AFR and timing willbe way off on a B18c.
