I tried my chipped ecu and a stock ecu. I used the wiring harness from my crx cause i didnt have the one for the motor.

is it cranking but not starting...check your firing order, i had this problem over the weekend, tried everything, turns out, i had the spark plug wires switched around...LOL. anyways, make sure that is all set right, then also, pull a spark plug out put it back into the wire, (not back inside the hole) then hold a screwdriver to the end of the plug, and have someone crank it, it should shoot a spark, or shock the hell out of you. eitherway, it will tell you, there is spark. if there is spark, its not your dizzy, and if you say you have fuel, i would think its the firing order from there or your timing. its one of those 2 things.

Its cranking strong just wont actually start.

I see puffs of smoke coming out of the exhaust sometimes.

Ive checked the grounds like 5 thousand times.

Made sure the fireing order is right.

Tried messing with ignition timing by moving the dizzy around.

The exhaust manifold is getting warm alittle so I know its trying to start.

Trying some starting fluid stuff. Spray it in the tb and give it a turn. If it starts you have a fuel problem

Not to be a dick but does shooting a fireball out of my open downpipe mean I have a fuel problem? I can smell gas really strong when i crank on it for a while. Ill give it shot though.
