Sounds like the person who worked on it should not be allowed to go near a car. Fix all wires that aren't soldered or crimped, then try to figure out what the problem is. There isn't any use trying to troubleshoot sensors if some complete retard fucked up the wiring.

If you paid that guy to work on it, kick him in the nuts and get your money back. If he did it for free, kick him in the nuts and tell everyone you know to never let him work on anything they own.

You don't need a resistor box if you're using high impedance injectors, which is anything other than OBD0 if they're Honda injectors.

There's no reason to switch to OBD1, you just need to use the correct ECU for the engine you're using. If the engine is OBD0, use the correct OBD0 ECU.

Post the ECU code

Have you checked the timing?

Spark and Fuel?

Gas in the tank?

your post is lacking a lot of important information.
