Default LS swap problems

Ok swap an ls motor from one crx to another including the harness. The car will start with starting fluid but i can not gt the fuel pump or injector to come on. I am pretty sure the relay is good and it clicks. I tried remotly jmping all the wires to find my problem but no luck help please

I would check fuel pressure also. Even though its kicking on it may not be suppling enough fuel pressure.

you need to use the wiring harness from the car you swapped the motor into. Harness are not interchangable from one model to the next. If you had a DX or something and swapped it into an SI it will not work.

yes, use the SI harness. other than a few backwards pieces it will work. you can't use the LS harness in your CRX (coming from a guy that has swapped an LS into his crx)
