Default crx hf to si swap help

okay im in a bind and I dont get it.

I put a si motor in yesterday and the thing has no spark

I didnt change the vacuum thing on the firewall . But i dont think that would cause it

I checked the coil and igniter and the white and blue wire on the igniter didnt ground so im thinking a wire is shorted

If anyone has any ideas please please help

Make sure everything is plugged in.. The new ecu your running is a pm6 correct? Put the old pm8 ecu in there and see if it fires up then..

did you use the HF engine harness? the Si harness will not work in the HF car - they are not interchangeable

Two different vehicles for two different motors.. You always use the harness for the model of car and modify it if needed.. Write that down

the Si engine harness will plug into the HF chassis harness at the firewall, but most all of the wires are in different locations at each side of the connectors and some wires are in different connectors
