Does anyone have a 6th gen accord that starts right up for like a second then dies?

Incident is: doing a auto to manual swap. After swapping everything to manual besides the ecu car started right up and ran. After I tightened the motor mount bolts and put more tranny fluid into tranny and added antifreeze car will only start and then die a sec later.

I put a aftermarket fuel pressure gauge on it. I got 40ish psi fuel at 2nd ignition and round 80psi right wen car fires up. After car fires up it dies. It can fire right up again but dies. I jumped it to a obd1 harness and tried a manual f22b1 ecu and did same thing. I added the thermostat ground, starter ground and valve cover ground. Still nothing.

Anyone had this issue before? I just don't know what happened. All I did new was tighten all bolts and added the necessary fluids. All fuses are good. Perhaps I jumped a teeth. But if I jump a teeth car will take time to start. In this case car starts right up. If a weak ign was at fault car would have hard time starting.
Fuel is coming through. Maybe clogged inj. But if clogged why did it start up before I tightened all bolts and added fluids.

Inspected cap rotor and preplaced plugs with NGK g-power all gapped to .044 and still nothing same results. starts right up and dies a second later.

I'm keeping in mind that car starts right up them dies. Even if I try it back to back and let cool for hours upon hours.

I guess its a sign for me to just finish my mid engine rwd turbo f22a instead of working on f23 :(

Are you still using the harness for an auto transmission? <-- Don't think that should really make a difference though... Or did you ever get a hold of the correct ecu?
