    Thats where ur trouble is you have the wrong ecu, obd1 ecu on what is now a obd2 car and initial settings such as vtec engagement, fuel etc...are still for your 1.6 liter . unless you plan on going the turbo route with a chipped p28 you need to ditch that ecu and get the correct ecu for you motor. then your car should run alot better.

    Get the ecu for the d15b
