What ecu are you uing? Any check engine lights? Re-trace your MPFI wiring abd make sure the conections are tight and in the right spots.

yeah if u got check lights. figure that out first. thats what mine did when we first did the swap a few years ago. it just boggs like crazy and doesnt go past 3k. and then one day my friend fixed it for me. toyed with the harness. i dont know that fool ghetto rigged it. so i just went out and bought the whole crx si harness for my car and everything was cherry. but if your gonna do that for your car get it out of 90-91 civic si cause 88-89 has different type's of plugs i believe

did you swap the wires on the tps? cuz u have to due to the DPFI TPS going the opposite way


also I hear that there are two white wires on the dist that might be backwards.
