Hey all, I recently bought an h22a1 engine from tigerjapanese.com with the h-series tranny.
What I got was here:

Except they sent me an H22A1 engine instead of an H22A engine.. I contacted customer support and they told me that there's no difference between A1 and A except the serial number.. Except there's a notable difference straight from the jump; the distributor on the A-series is internal and the A1-series is external. And also that the injector size could possibly be different?
Anyway, I got the H-series engine in, all the sensors except the VTEC sensor plugged up, and since it was originally an external distributor i just used an MSD Blaster Coil. I also removed power steering if that matters at all.
The engine will turn over, crank, fire, and start. But shortly after starting, the engine will sputter, backfire and die.. No idea why, I've tried three different ECU's, the new one I ordered which is tuned for the A-series engine, my chipped F-series ECU, and my mechanic's chipped ECU for his H22A-series engine.. None made a difference.
Help would be greatly appreciated. If you need any more information, don't hesitate to ask, I'd be more-than-welcome to provide as much info. as possible to diagnose this problem.
Maybe it could be a timing issue? I'm not sure.
