ok, so you are using a b16 ecu (p30 I assume?) with an LS engine? thats your first problem. You need to get an LS ecu, and I'd go with obd1 if I were you to prevent complications. get the obd1 p75, and then use your stock ex wiring harness, and a stock 99-00 LS distrib and you should be golden. You're also going to need obd2b to obd1 conversion harness

actually it should still work, itd just be throwing CELs like crazy.... Wouldnt be picking up anything the b16 has that the B18B doesnt. Itd start up, yet it would run like shit... my friends and I just swapped a B18B OBD2 to a civic that had a B16A (OBD1) ECU, the thing start up but it ran like crap, idle problems, CELs, etc....

Check the relays, since your car was an EX it had Vtec, but you used your SOHC dizzy? theres another one of your problems, your using a SOHC vtec dizzy to a DOHC non vtec engine, as stated get the proper dizzy,
