won't start!
k... i've done an LS(b18a1) swap into my 89 crx si.
this is the first swap i've done on my own.
i bought an integra after i started it and reved it a little bit. it was cheap because it was wrecked in the front.
6 months and 2 crx's later it's in a crx.(long story, but this is my 3rd crx in a row)
finish hooking up all the hoses and wires and it just turns and turns but won't crank.
i checked for spark, and made sure the wires were in the correct firing order.
timing belt was properly installed.
fuel is getting to the injectors.
all 3 grounds are securely grounded.
tried stock 1.6 ecu and LS ecu.
what else should i go back and check?

i'm guessing it's something i did or didn't do over the swap process. it ran before i took it out of the integra, and the crx ran before i took the motor out for the swap.
So I would go back and double check everything.
-Can you hear the fuel pump priming when you turn the ignition on?
-If you remove the spark plugs and crank the motor over can you smell fuel(in other words, you say you're getting fuel to the injectors, but are the injectors firing?)
-have you double checked to make sure cam timing is correct?
-where is the distributor set at? It should be in the middle, then when you get it running, properly set the timing.
If you have spark(and the wires are in the correct order), you have fuel(and your injectors are firing), your timing is set correctly(cam timing and ignition timing), and the motor is good, it will start.
