well guys I did a compression check and found 185,180,150, and 205 in that order from one to four. I pulled it back out and put the stock motor in and just going to have to rebuild the b18. thanks again for all the help.

It sure does, I can smell fuel and have checked for spark on all four plugs but just won't start for nothing.

Sorry if my repsonces sounded rude, I am just very frustrated right now. I have done 50+ swaps in my years working for a local shop but because the owner is a thief and I no longer talk to him I have to turn to the boards for issues that stump my little circle of honda friends.

An eg civic has a harness that is split in the engine bay while an ek is a one piece that is routed straight into the cab. since I am installing the motor into an obd2b car and using an obd2b harness those two factors made it impossible to keep the motor obd1

I converted the motor with all of the sensors because it went into a 2000 civic hatch which we all know is odb2b. with the wiring, I have not cut a single bit of the harness as of yet so it can not be that. thanks for the responce though. dtacc

ok here goes... I started off with an odb1 engine and converted it to an odb2b with the b16 oil pump/crank angle sensor, obd2 Tb (gsr), and distributor (gsr). picked up a 99-00 si harness, odb2b to odb1 conversion harness with a odb1 p72. my problem is this-I am getting spark and fuel but it...

this may sound stupid but have you checked the ecu grounds on the thermostat housing? I just swapped a b18c1 into my 2k hatch this past weekend and was having the same problem untill I tightened the ground. hope this helps.
