If you still have your original Accord ECU you could plug it in. Turn your key to the on position (engine not running) and see if the same codes come up. If they do then you should look into getting a manual so as to test the ELD, MAP and connection between the distributor and gauge cluster (speedo). Then try starting the car with the Accord ECU. It won't hurt your engine to have the 2.2L Non VTEC ECU start you H22.

If the codes don't come up after starting the car you should look into checking out the P13 ECU.

Do you have the manuals for the 93 Prelude and 94-97 Accord?

My H22 swap is throwing this code too, although the reason is that AUDM 5th gen's don't seem to have ELD.

the Electric Load Detector is the communication between the altenator and computer so the IACV tell the engine to idle more if the alternator loads the engine. sound like there is a problem there. The map is bad most likely. Are you using the accord TB or the H22 TB? is you map external or intergrated to the TB?
