Default HELP!!! Car won't start!!!!!!!

Okay here is my problem. I own a 1990 Civic hatchback. It was a 1.5l (DPFI) 5 SPD. I just recently got myself a 1993 D15b V-Tec engine. I put the engine in using a SI manifold but I didn't use a SI distributor, I just left the 93 dist. I followed instructions online on doing the whole DPFI to MPFI and to my knowledge I got everything hooked up right. I only ran into one problem with the dist. wires but I solved it. My only problem now is the car won't start. I checked for spark and i got spark. I checked the fuel coiming out of the filter and it got fuel. It just won't start though. I had a friend over one day and he insteaded on using starter fluid to see if it would start. I didn't want to cuz I knew fuel was going to the manifold, but we tried it anyways. But SURPRISE the car started. It turns on with the starter fluid for about 2 seconds and dies out. I don't know whats going on. Also I an start the car if I hold my foot down on the gas while I am starting it but it dies out. Can anyone help me out. I have no clue what is going on here. Thanks
