Default B16A swap wont start, no cel light and no oil light
i need some help with fixing a problem with my car. Its an EG8 sedan. was 1.6 vtec (d series). Was running 100%. Took the engine out and dropped in a mint B16A engine out of a 94 EG6. And it wont run

So I'll explain this as best i can..

When I try to start the car it is getting fuel and is sparking, it cranks over but it wont start. I've tried a different ecu but still the same. With the ignition on I am not getting a CEL light or a OIL light..

I had the dash out and i had the engine bay stripped to paint the bulk head. I put everything back in myself and checked everything 4 times at this stage.
EVERY SINGLE EARTH IS CONNECTED AND EVERY PLUG IS IN. Not one single wire is stripped, cut or pinched. I had dash back out tonight and checked every single wire with a multi meter...

The sir P30 ecu is what i'm using

That is all I can say.. I had a mechanic and an auto electrician look at it this evening and they couldn't see anything wrong.

Thanks very much for taking the time to read this and if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. If anyone needs to no anymore please do

listen for the fuel pump priming under the rear seat.

Does it sound normal when cranking or like it is spinning really easy?

Does it sputter at all or want to start?

Have you done a compression test?

did u check the main relay?

Changed main relay just incase and it wasnt it..

Fuel pump sounds normal so it does. when ignition is on i can hear the fuel pump come on and prime.

The spark looks weak, its kinda orange/yellow... this should be white/blue shouldn't it?

help is much appreciated, THANKS
