Need help low/rough idle on new swap b18c
Ok, I just had a b18c1 USDM engine with about 115k swapped into my car. Its a 96 obd2 and is running a p72 obd2 ecu. There are no check engine lights.
Heres the problem:
I start the car and it idles at around 1500 for a little bit, then when I press the throttle itll drop all the way down to 100 rpms and it'll start fluctuating and almost die. When I step on the throttle and go up to 3k it drops all the way down and dies. Then when I start it up, does the 100 rpm idle thing, and can not hold a smooth idle at all. It's really frustrating.
What I've done so far:
Clean the IACV put it back (didnt help)
Replaced the IACV with one that was working (didnt help)
The spark plugs and wires are fine, I took them from my old swap that was running fine. Dizzy was working fine on the old swap just a week ago.
I really dont know where to go from there! It has no ecu codes, and the one time I drove it it ran ok, but once I came to an idle, it dies!
