Recently swapped in dohc ka into my 90’ hatch and it won’t start. I have fuel (checked the plugs they were wet) and have spark (put plugs against car and turned it over and there was spark). I took the dizzy out and re-timed it to where I think it should be. Still no diffrence. It cranks every time and sounds like it wants to start but won’t. Im 100% sure all the connections i had to solder onto the sohc dash connector are corrected and soldered well. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I just want to get this thing started!
