Ok I have a 1992 Honda Civic 4 door with a D16Z6 vtech swap. When i try to start the car it will start if it has been sitting for a while and i am heavy on the gas when turning it over it will start for a few seconds but then just dies and i get a ticking noise from down where the ECU is. My thought is maybe the person that did the swap didnt switch out the D15 ECU with one for a D16. I could be wrong that is why I am posting this, so could that be what it is? If not what could it be?

You bought a non running car after someone who didnt know what they were doing did a swap? It could be a hundred things...

No it was running but if they didnt use the right ECU it would have ran for a while like it did until it fried the ECU. The dude supposedly knew what he was doing because he was suppposedly a mechanic

Doesn't matter the ecu, the car will still run.

I dont trust anyone when it comes to cars... The guy I bought my hatch from said that he fixed the damage from an accident the "right way"... Well, his "right way" is going to the body shop today and getting $600 in repairs. take out the engine harness and ecu and start over.

Did you replace the fuel filter by chance ?

CEL codes? Spark? Mechanical timing? Fuel pressure?

It was actually the Mass Airflow Sensor had come unplugged thanks tho

Do you mean the MAP sensor? That would without question throw a MAP sensor code.
