Default DPFI to MPFI

Alright so i swapped out the dual point that was in my 91 DX for a D16A6. I have a PM-6 ecu and have done the actual conversion where you move 2 wires and add 4. And now it wont start when i turn the key on the check engine light comes on and stays on and the main relay never clicks to turn the check engine light off. Also when i turn the key to the on position the light on the ecu thats supposed to blink to let you know its working never blinks or comes on at all. im not getting spark at all ive replaced the main relay, ignition switch and even the fuse box under the hood. Does anybody have any idea what could be wrong??

ecu bad? Sure the wiring is right. Easy to mix up the plugs. Running resistor box right?

1. Check the 10? amp fuse for the hazard light in the fusebox in the engine compartment. This is the fuse that is pulled to reset the ECU.

1. Try a known good ECU

You've replaced the ign. switch. Did the car start prior to the conversion? You can trace the wiring to from the ign. switch to the fuse box and then we can go over checking voltages in the main relay harness.
