Hello,
I have been on and off of this forum over the years. I went extreme on my crx and now I can't get it to run. I just spent some time trying to find someone with similar problems but found nothing.
I bought a complete swap from hmotorsonline. I bought the JDM b16A1. like a noob I sold my stock harness with my engine. At the time I had hopes of going stand alone. I was going to use magasquirt. I started building my engine and interior harness but got interrupted. In the mean time since I was so confident I would get it done and it would work I had cut my interior harness all up.
I had to walk away from the whole thing for months. When I can back I had decided I just wanted it to run so I bought a 90 CRX SI engine harness for the engine. I also luckily found the only new stock interior harness left in the country for a 91 crx hf. I found it in maryland and after paying an arm and a leg I had it at my door. After spending a few hours I had the new harnesses installed. I used the JDM computer it came with. I am not sure if it is the PR3 or PW0. I also have made the from of my car partially tube chassis. I cut of most ground points and strut towers and all. I had to fabricate engine mounts and all kinds of fun stuff. So my battery is now located in the back.
I hooked everything up and now I have no spark or injector pulse. Upon further investigation I have power everywhere when the key is on. I have power where there are supposed to be grounds and grounds where there is supposed to be power. I consider myself fairly competent with wiring and diagnostics but this has me stumped.
My first thought was poor ground. I know hondas are picky and I cut most of mine off plus I have the battery further away than normal. I then used a 10 wire ground set and grounded everything imaginable. It does have a good enough ground to crank strong before and after ground straps. On my distributor plug for example I think I have a power on every wire going to dizzy. I got mad and walked away after thousands spent on the whole project and hours upon countless hours. It has to be something simple. Another strange thing is it is not blowing any fuses. I have tried about everything I can think of. I haven't worked on it for about a year so I am sure I have tried things I may have even forgotten.
Please Please let me know if anyone has any ideas.
Here are some pictures of what I have done

As you can tell I would really love to see this work pay off. I had to walk away for a while but not it is time to get back on it. I have plans for boost, have turbo kit and all. It is going to be a track car. I had it on the chassis scales with me it is less than 2k lbs.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Sorry for the book.
