1996 accord f22b swap cranks but won't start

[Captain-Obvious™]

getting fuel now. no spark. jumped the ecu and the engine code says tdc/cps. would that tell the ecu to not spark the dizzy?

Proud of you Greg, that sounded very professional.

Nads Auto failed to mention a little somethin about a tiny metal plate attached to the timing belt crank sprocket. it breaks the magnetic field when the crank turns and so the ecm knows to activate the fuel injectors. thanks nads. this couldve been done the 2nd day i had my motor but nooooooo. been beating my head against a wall for basically no reason.

had to get a guy who owns an only honda shop (Southern Appalachian Auto) to come by my house and it took him about 20 minutes to figure it out.

called the interruptor plate for holofex switch. jdm motor doesnt have it. its for the ckp/tdc sensor

now everything is back together and its the timing.

car starts but sputters like crazy. between the timing and balance belt anything could be a fraction off and id be screwed. so close...so close.

BTW TDC code is in the dizzy

And yes you need that plate on the crank , glad everything worked out ...

1996 it isnt in the distributor anymore. its a dual sensor around the crankshaft for Crank Position and TDC.

the one pickup mentioned before, that was the plate, and there was a second pickup on the sprocket for the balance shaft belt. basically it was something really dumb. anyways.

I just wanted to say thanks to everybody for the help, I appreciate it.
