sounds like you might have a timing issue as well, i still think you have to convert the dx harness to an si, and the same with a sohc, or dohc vtec motor, unless you buy a repinned harness, i think, i may not be sure, but i think there are 2 white wires in the dizzy clip, that you have to swap positions, i think the way it is, it is firing 180 degrees off, this happened on my dx zc swap.
