i just put b16a in my 94 coupe. simple swap done a million times. well i used my old wire harness, old ecu, and injectors. it turns over but wont fire up. i was getting spark and a fuel but wasnt sure if it was getting enough. so i changed the injectors. still nothing. buddy of mine said that it could have been my distributor, so i got another used one. and it still doesnt wont to crank. please if anybody knows what the hell is up with my car please lmk.

do u got compression. is your firring order right. when u test for stark if u go about an 3/4-1" away from ground does it arc. do u have oil presser.

check the firing order....1-4-3-2 ....also how do you know its getting fuel an fire? I bet you got a bad main relay ..if you take it out an bring it to me ill fix an can inspect it for bad soldier spots/cracks

firing order is good. as far as fuel goes i pulled the fuel rail out with the injectors still in the rail and got someone to turn the key and all of the injectors are working. someone told me that if the main relay was bad my fuel pump wouldnt be working.
