Crank shaft sensor would cause that.

This might seem like a stupid question but have you changed the ECU to match the 1.4 engine?

If you havent then you might need to.

If you have, then it could be immobilised... The EK9's didnt come with one standard, but if the 1.4 engine and loom and ecu are from an irish/english civic then they would be immobilised so youd need the key to match that ecu

The only suggestion I have is that you need to PUT THE B16B BACK IN!!
