B20 wont fire/start in car ? NEED HELP ASAP
alright guys, ive got a 2000 Acura Integra that ive had for about 6 months now. my GSR recently broke a thrust washer so i bought a B20Z2 to roll around with until i get my GSR rebuilt. before i start i will say the car was boosted before i got it, which i learned the hard way so im not sure of what all other than what was on the GSR when i took it out. now that ive put the B20 in and hooked everything up right, the engine wont start. i had to repin my B20 distributor that came with the motor to get it to fit with my harness. all that was done right and still no start. i took my chipped P28 out, thinking that was the problem and put in an OBD1 P75 and still nothing. Now, the engine wont stop priming which i dont understand either. i dont get why this thing wont start and i need all the help i can get to figure this out because its my daily. any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

very true. I'm just a little frustrated. I've been out here every night for a week straight trying different things out, ever since I got done putting it in. my car wouldn't have a neutral safety switch unless it was an automatic originally, right?

Wrong. If it broke, then you should see something that looks like a broken crayon tip on the floor near the clutch pedel

If it was a neutral safety switch it wouldn't even spin the engine over.
