What ecu are you using? If you are using the VTEC ecu, then you will need to make wiring changes, such as MPFI wiring.

u are using all the DX stuff for now??
ok first... make sure u got the firing order right 1-3-4-2

then make sure when u put the dizzy thats it is on the right way... try moving the dizzy around when cranking.... u might have it off real time.....put the motor on TDC....open the dizzy cap.... the rotor should be pointing almost and or top of the #1 spark plug cable...(imagin the cap on and look at it to make sure the rotor its pointing where the #1 cable hole is )

if its not.... mvoe the dizzy until its close to what i just said
