It's been 3 weeks now and i did a 94 integra ls swap in my hatch, the car cranks but doesnt start, checked the spark and i have spark, got new injectors and i have fuel but whats weird is that when u try starting it u hear like a drum noise from the intake i dont know if that means its back firing or what, at first i thouht it was a bunch of africans(i'm from africa) playing the drums in my motor but its not but i was wondering if anyone else have had such a problem please let me know

Could you have messed up the firing order of your spark plug wires?

Hard to guess without hearing the sound first-hand...

Is it possible that you have the cam timing 180 degrees off?
If you have spark and fuel, and if the engine is in good condition, with adequate compression, it should start...

Sounds like the timing is completely off.
