Where to start....

95 Civic is OBD1 BUT if it's plated as 1995 it could be a 1996 model which is OBD2. That would make your p28 OBD2 if it came from the same car.

H22a Vtec - need more info as there are several models of the H22 & some were in OBD1 preludes while some were in OBD2 preludes. Check the block for the stamp as that may help us work out what injectors it is running.

Honda H Engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

OBD1 prelude injectors are peak & hold and require a resister box. It's a small box which looks a bit like a gaming desktop heat-sink (finned aluminium) & is found near your firewall on the left hand side.

OBD2 prelude injectors are saturated and don't require a resister box.

Flow wise the OBD1 vtec injectors are 345cc/min while the OBD2 vtec injectors are 295cc/min.

If you are running a OBD2 ecu or injectors on a OBD1 Prelude ( which is what the 92 Prelude is) then you will run into problems similar to what you described.

Is the manifold stock or is it a leftover from the turbo build? Running a turbo manifold on a non-turbo car isn't something you want to do.

The ecu has 95 civic si on it and came out of a 94 civic I checked the check engine light and it was a iacv and o2 and it's been running ok some times I can finally go 30 mph steady and not be jerking all to hell do you think I should try the p13 ecu and see how it runs ? But it's chipped for turbo ? And it has a 92 stamped on the block so I'm guessing it's a 92 h22a vtec I can barley read the numbers below the h22a

You cant chip a p13 so put that in and see if it runs and check for codes.
