ok so i've installed car stereos before and they've all went well, so i took out my stock cd player and i put in the new wiring harness for the car and the sony cd player, and i plug it in and it makes the noise that it hooks up but when i turn on the car it doesnt come on, then i took off the wiring harnesses and the sony cd player and put my stock one in and the anti-theft light comes on but when i turn it on nothing happens, usually it light up and i'd have to put the code in, i've checked the fuses underhood and streering and they're both fine, idk what it could be, i was thinking that the ignition wire could be messed up so it doesnt sense the car turning on but idk???

I know it's a dumb question, but to eliminate the obvious, did you push the power button?
Are your connections good? It sounds like the switched power isn't working but the constant power is.
But if no fuses are blown, I don't know what else it could be. Maybe a weak ground.

It'd be nice if someone posted a link or something for a wiring diagram (color codes) for Integra... Also, try bypassing the power and ground. Run it from somewhere else... If it works, then trace the bypassed wires to source the problem!

Did you try finding power from another source, like 1990G2TEG suggested?
Try getting constant and switched power from those empty male terminals in the fuse box (the one in the car) at the bottom below all the fuses. I'm positive one of those is constant power and there's also switched in there too, I used them in my car for my remote starter.

Yeah, sometimes, heat can play a factor in the wiring harness... You'd never find the problem unless you bypass it to see if it just may be the one wire itself. Try it and lemme know what up! REMEMBER-If bypassing the power doesn't solve the issue, then bypass the ground.
