Alright, so I have my old motor out, I have the new motor in, hooked everything up (I thought) and tried to start. Nothing happened. Absolutely nothing.
Now, my buddy thinks it's a wiring issue.
I have a chipped ecu, and I'm using an Acura Integra GSR v-tec harness.
Most of it hooked up fine, but there are plugs I am not using on both my engine harness and the harness on my car. I had to solder in new injector clips (easy).
I'm going from an automatic to a manual, so the problem may just be a clutch sensor. I don't have one, and I'm going to have to do something with the 14p plug that was there for the automatic(a plug apparently didn't come with my car?). But I'm going to post pictures of all the plugs I am not using right now just in case something else is wrong(I know I'm not going to be using some because, different motor, duh, but I feel I might be missing one I need..or something).
Any ideas, thoughts, and suggestions are welcome, but please no flaming. I have searched so many times for so many things and that's how I've gotten this far. I need to get my car running ASAP, it is very urgent.


Ok, driver's side shock tower, this plug is from the wiring harness, no place for it on my body. I also have a capped plug with a single blue wire in it coming form the firewall. (??)


Driver's side, below the shock tower, from wiring harness. Place for them on the motor? Body?


Passenger side, one on the left is from a bunch of clumps that connected fine at the shock tower; it's form the harness. One on the right is from the wiring harness as well, hangs right above the transmission.


Driver's side, on the body's harness. both beside the shock tower.


P.S. don't ask why everything has a purple tint/cloud of dust on it...

 

Whats the ecu?
was the engine harness out of a automatic also?
did you check all the grounds?

Harness was from an Acura Integra GSR. I was under the impression that an automatic Acura Integra GSR is uncommon.

Yes, grounds are on.

 

Update:
Made a permanent depressed clutch sensor (I think) using the 14p plug that was in the automatic console. Tried to start, nothing.
Tried a different, bigger battery, nothing.
Lights, wipers, and dashboard lights come on, but engine won't make a single noise.

 

The third picture looks like the plugs to the distributor. Even though you have a bunch of left over wires it would good to check for spark and fuel to figure out which one your lacking to make sure your heading the right direction.

 

All plugs coming from the distributor had already been connected.
Got the engine to turn; the culprit was actually indeed a bad ground and some issues with the starter relay.
But I'm stuck again. The engine will turn, but it won't start actually start. I'm guessing spark or fuel issues. I tried to press the gas to see if that helped, nothing, my engine bay didn't even smell like gas like if it had been flooded. So my bet is fuel.
What to do now?

 

can you hear the fuel pump prime?

 

1: the one blue wire with the cap is the tach signal and goes no where. The larger plug should be a dead end plug (a plug with no wires like this

2: from left to right - knock sensor (ignore with your ecu), CKF (ignore), hard to tell without knowing the colors (possibly IABS which you could ignore if it is)

3:that's a plug that has I believe EVAP and CKF wiring (ignore). The second is the distributor plug. How do you have the distributor plugged in without this?

4:Top could be power steering pressure plug, what color are the wires?
Bottom what color are the wires?

 

 

Yes.

This led me to the problem. My dizzy had wires that were connected to the body, not the harness. I have an Obd1 dizzy, with an obd2 harness. I have to order another dizzy. Is it possible for me to use the Integra GSR harness? Is there a place online that I can order it from for relatively cheap and has several shipping options so I can get it fast (I suppose it's not a big deal if it doesn't, and I know the shipping won't be cheap)

EDIT: With research I found that any B's with VTEC can use the same dizzy? Confirmation?

EDIT #2: I had a d15b7 motor (in a civic ex, wtf?) in my car before, I don't know what harness I had, but it's definitely obd1 and the plugs fit the distributor. If they have the same wires, can I just cut off the obd2 plug and splice in the obd1 plugs?
Edit 3: nvm wires don't match.
Edit 4: I guess I could just get a conversion wire woops. I'm dumb.
I took out the power steering, so that's probably it.

btw, I appreciate everyone's help so far.

 

Got a conversion harness for the distributor. Still won't start.

 

I opened the distributor, contacts are fine. Checked a spark plug, it's getting spark.

So I guess that leaves compression or fuel pass the fuel pump.

EDIT: Opened the fuel rail a bit, gas squirted a bit. My injectors do indeed turn on.

 

Found another plug that has no where to go. It's blue, and a yellow wire with a black stripe, and a red wire with a yellow stripe.
I will post a picture soon.
I feel like it has something to do with the injectors, as all the injector clips have a yellow wire with a black stripe. Like a switch or something? The harness is from a Integra GSR so..Idk. Can I just cut the plug and solder the wires together or something? or Do i need a plug..or..idk.
I sprayed starter fluid into the intake and it started btw.

EDIT: Pictures:

 

Did you every get it running? im about to swap a b16b in to an automatic Del Sol
