    does it have an obd1 dizzy? in obd1 cars(motors) the CKP are located in there; obd2 esp on the y8 the CKP is behind the crank pulley. could be the cause of your woes.

    well, your ECU is OBD1 and your engine is OBD2. thats a no no. go get a obd2 to obd1 ecu conversion harness. google rywire or boomslang. will run you about $100.

    that shouldnt matter aslong as all the sensors are from obd1. it should run right regardless of my ecu being obd1 and engine begine obd2. ive done it before

    Yea thats usually more of a problem when putting an obd1 motor in obd2 car, but this is the opposite.

    Is it throwing a check engine light?

    Plugged in my chipped p28 with a p30 map i think its chipped with chrome.
    Well i plugged it in and car ran fine Any ideas why the p28 wont run it?

    I plugged the p28 into my b17 and it worked fine

    could be an automatic ecu....check it for burnt spots on the inside if it is a manual ecu. Also, if an injector fails sometimes it causes it to do that.
