Re: car started but.....
This might be a dumb question but did you wire up the other two injectors that that motor comes with that the dx didnt? If not then that would be your probelm. Or did you not switch out ecus? If not then that also mught be it.

Re: car started but.....
heres an old trick from a 80 year old volkswagen dude i know.
take your timing light. hook it up just like you normally would but put the trigger on the number 2, then the 4. start er up. is the light flashing?
if yes-check fuel related (see kyler oses reply) or bad spark gap (not common, but do a compression test now too-low compression = no boom)
if no-spark problem. check everything. clean everything.(cap and rotor too) check all wires.
also check your valvelash. an improper valvelash can cause a cylinder not to fire.
good luck

Re: car started but.....
ARE YOU sure that the car has been wired from DPFI to MPFI..?
b/c when i was fucking with it at majors house, marks was going to wire it up but we/he never did...i was fucking with the front suspension and mark was fucking with the cleaning of the wires...gettgin ready to do the mpfi conversion...
unless you converted it...then its not converted...
thats your problem
