Default B16A swap

I have a '92 civic si, I swapped in a B16A and used the si harness ('92) with the P30 ECU, and the B16 doesn't have a map sensnor on the throttle body, so that plug is just sitting there. I'm throwing a code, I haven't had time to check the code, but I was wondering if that would be the problem?

lol

its probably throwing a MAP code. easy fix, just take off the MAP from your old swap (located on the TB), plug it with the correct wire harness plug, then take a vacuum line connect it to the nipple on the MAP to the nipple on your B16A TB and problem solve

You arent checking it correctly. Get a paper clip and read the FAQ at the top of the page to see how to check your code. 1 short flahs = 1 and 1 long flash = 10.
