    Default Car wont start

    Bought an 89 civic dx with an lsvtec from a guy, it had a spun rod bearing so i pulled the motor and just but a b20 in it for now just to drive. Well i got the swap all done but here is the problem..... it turns over and starts and wont run for very long.... then some times it wont even start at all. i have done everything i can think of and still cant find whats wrong. if any one can please help it would be great....


    it is getting spark & fuel for sure!


    as for the car:

    89 Civic DX
    B20B engine
    OBD0 to OBD1 harness
    P75 ecu
    New OBD2 Distributor (had another distributor with an MSD blaster SS coil & 6 AL box) (not on car now)


    everything else on the car is stock. Thanks!

    does it run rough when it does start or does it start up and then idle too low or something? maybe a timing issue?

    well like i said it runs when it wants to.... today it wouldn't even start, but sometimes it runs real smooth and other times rough.... i think it mite be something with the main relay or the wiring going to it. i have tired 3 different relays and they all do the same. today it had this real bad arittic clicking. maybe ill start ohming the wires?????
