Default B16 throwing codes!

I have a 92 honda civic with a b16 swap and a Spoon ECU and the check engine light flashes three times, pauses, the flashes three times. This continues while i drive. Also if its been off for a while and go to start it up it doesn't crank at all but i have electricity. After about 10 minutes of trying to start it up it finally starts up. Any idea please let me know!

Do a search for engine codes and look up what a code 3 is. and as far as the starting thing, sounds like a starter.

code 3 is map sensor. check it out... it should be the sensor on top of the throttle body.

Are you talking about a code 3 or 33 here? I don't understand which code you are throwing...

Yeah its running like shit anyway because it needs a new distributor. Not sure what the map sensor is exactly.
