If it is, its something that exceeds my knowlege because i wired everything in. All the grounds are in , the starter is brand new and has worked in my integra numerous times. Everything is done. It just wont fire the fuck up.

I have one, mine is OBD2b though, and I know there are some differences. Did you have to repin the distributor connector? Extend any wires or change connectors other than the CKF sensor?

The last time mine wouldn’t start, it was because the injectors were hooked up backwards. The harness was supposed to run under the intake manifold and then back over the top from the driver’s side, but I had run it the other way.

Also, where is the valve cover ground hooked up? If it’s going to the bolt on the end over the timing belt, it’s not actually grounded to the block, that got me once too.

mine is obd2 as well. I had to extend a few wires and switch the clip for the crank sensor. Im almost positive the injectors are in right but ill flip flop them just to see. It is on the bolt over the timing belt because a bolt snapped on the main one but it didnt start when it was there either.

OBD2a 96-98 civic 96-99 integra  
OBD2b 99-00 civic 00-01 integra  
There are some wiring differences between the two but I don’t remember what they all are.

It is finally up and running beautiful!!! I now have a huge gay man crush on 93dxhatch for the record.

I wired everything like i should have, the injectors clips were not in order and the map sensor and tps sensor were switched ( clips are identical) Dan came over and had it running in 20 minutes, Thanks soo much dude I owe you lunch or some beers!
