did you replace the timing belt? If the timing is off just a little it won't start

How about helping us help you out? Did you put gas it? Does the battery have a charge? Did you turn the key? What symptoms does it give you? You didnt even tell us what car you put this thing into.

What's your firing order look like?

and what model is your 89 civic? Is it wired for MPFI and is there an injector resistor box? Any CEL codes?

I'm guessing "NOT" 1342 in a clockwise rotation (starting at 7:00)...
