I would think you would need an obd1 ecu if you got a jumper harness and obd1 dizzy.

i thought of that b4 i did the swap and that makes sense, but i was told that with the jumper harness, i could use the obd2 ecu. as you can see, ive never crossed the obd1/2 line. either did one or the other.

Do you or a buddy have a p28 you could try?

it should still run regardless of the ecu...... even a vtec ecu on non vtec motor....

i ran p2p on my b18 swap ..... then ran p75.....

i think your plug wires are fucked up

shes running with no CEL so connections are correct, sensors are good. im guessing the timing is off. ill fight with it some more tomorrow b4 i go to work.

Check your wires, timing, and fuel. Then move on to further diag. I think its timing tho
