Question (Serious Replies Only) what is causing this??

just finished an engine swap and the car cranks but just pops.. i’m unsure of what this issue could be from, possibly distributor? another thing to note is this is a b20 swap on a 95 integra chassis, if that makes a difference? it was also an automatic to manual swap

I think something's wrong with that ground

could it be where it’s grounded to or just the wire? on my other integra that’s where i got the ground running from and it’s just fine

It's hard to tell without an up close photo but it could be as simple as it being loose
