Default mpfi swap gone bad, ahhh!!!

well, i bought the complete conversion from janky last night, and today i started on the isntall....i took a couple things into notice, like i may need a new fuel line from an si, and a bracket for the intake mani to bolt up too....other than that, i had everything...so i started at the ECU...problem number1. de- pinning wires is a absolute bitch...i freaking mangled the hell out of my plugs trying to get them out...end result? pins C1 and C2 were out, but the wire came off because i was somewhat physical when taking them out...heres the thing, needles dont work....tiny screwdrivers dont work...hell, i went to the store and bought the smallest drill bit made and poked it through the opposite side and guess what, no that didnt work either...my brothers penis was actually to big for this one..ha! strike 1!!! anyways, i went to all the places i could think of trying to find a damn "special ECU depinning tool" but not a single place in bradenton knew what the hell iwas talking about, so a single finger salute to the following, radio shack, pep boys, autozone, and home depot...i decided to just stop, and try some other day...so then came the problem of putting bare wires back into the plugs...bad idea? yes...my fingers hurt like absolute piss right now...anyways, the car ran like ass....i thought it was bare wires, but before i taped them up i had 6 codes being thrown, yea no shit...so i taped them up and 1 code came back.....code 4....which is the crank angle sensor...whatever...and when i was throwing the 6 codes i think the car went into limp mode, i didnt go past 4grand, and the hatch sounded nasty...anyways, since i know there are some smart people on here, what do you recommend? i have a 1990 std civic hatch...should i just abandone this damn thing? help
