dist error

I have a 2000 em1

built engine / turbo
twin hellcat in tank pumps feeding -10AN fuel rail
1000cc FIC injectors
rywire obd1 harness
hondata s300v3
speedfactory 3 bar MAP sensor
obd1 OEM distributor

I have spark, I have tested injectors, fuel pressure set to 40psi on regulator and on fuel rail, Map sensor is at 0psi when the car isn't running. While cranking pulls a slight vacuum light I would expect.

I crank the car over and get no ignition or even trying to ignite.
I have the "dist error" on and the cars not even running. Is this what is causing it not to fire?
looking for some help to get the car back up in running.

You say you have no ignition, but you have spark, are the injectors spraying?

yes. I just cranked it over. There is a fuel on the tip of the spark plug clearly.

I would recommend trying this ECU on a known running vehicle and see if it will start and run with the correct calibration for that vehicle.

ok no problem. Just for data....

I upgraded the fuel system fuel line to a -10an feed and return
I tried to install Hondata Retrofit and couldnt get it to work properly. So I changed back to the orginal distributor the car ran on.

This is the same ecu it ran before. Same injector size ( 1000cc) Nothing changed.

Switched to a "known" OEM distributor.

Worked great and the car started and idles.
