i think your problem might lie with the distributer cause if its an obd2 dizzy then i dont think it will work with obd1 wiring but im not sure, but when I did my mini me swap on my 95 coupe all i did was change the head, iand bought a p28, and a head gasket, other then tha i kept the stock dizzy and intake mani and hardware and just wired up my vtak
u dont need all that mess just pay ur $3 for the junk yard snip off the vtec plug and hard wire it in the car, which head gasket, and timing belt did u use and u have to either chang out that p2p, also if u use ur stock dizzy only 2 of the bolts will work which might cause a small oil leak just depends i guess on that
The motor problem you stated is very vauge, If you got a decent camera take a video and email / pm me the link or just email it to me and i can help alot more.
Okay, you don't need vtec plugs specifically. You could use the plug off the AC compressor off a civic/integra and basically any 2 wire round plug off a harness, its not hard. Will take about 30 minutes to do if you run the wires into the harness and behind the battery tray with the rest of the harness.
What head do you have, y8 or z6? If you have a y8 head then you can use your d15 distributor. The y8 distributor will work just fine if you wired it up right. Look here and compare your wiring.

Don't use the p2p, its a waste of time, and you will also have to wire up a CKF sensor and a knock sensor.(plus you'd have to get an adapter harness to even plug it up.) Get a p28.
