Default B18C1 in CRX problems

installed a OBD1 GSR in a CRX.
used a PR3 ECU and PR3 Distributor from old B16A swap.
installed skunk2 manifold, did not hook up IAB.
did not hook up O2 sensor(s).
did not install water temp sensor.
running OBDO injectors and resistor box.

car ran for maybe 3-5mins
then died... didn't stumble, just shut off.

checked for spark, no spark.
swapped ignitor pack, cap, and wires.

still no spark.

what would cause this? it would run, then just die. there IS gas in the car.

Check if you have battery voltage from the 2pin connector ( black yellow wire ), or you might not be receiving a ignition output signal from the ECU ( assuming the wiring is good, no short/open between the ecu and the distributer (white wire)... Let me know and ill look up the pin numbers if you need it...

youll have to hook up your 02 sensors like a b16a two in the headers or one if you get your ecu chipped for 1 o2 sensor, FYI i have a GSR dc sports header 4-2-1 for sale has 10k miles and i used it for your exact set up. except i chipped my pr3 to run just 1 os sensor so it just has 1 o2 bung in the header.

you can splice the coolant wires onto you crx wiring harness (the 2 prong plugs in back of the crx engine) to coolant temp plug on the gsr engine
