b18c5 swap done, car runs bad, missfire !Help!
hey, i just finished a b18c5 engine swap into my 94 eg. im using a chipped ecu with a stock type r basemap tune. The car starts but runs very bad, it shakes at idle and seems like its missfiring.
i dont know if this matters but if i unplug my maf sensor it still stays the same, in other words the engine dosnt change sound, i dont know if thats a normal thing.
i just tried a friends 98 jdm type r ecu and it ran the same but with that ecu i was getting 2 codes:
20 Electrical load detector
41 Primary oxygen sensor heater
with my chipped ecu i had no codes
can anyone help me out in any way?
thanks alot

anyways, from the sounds of it, have you checked your spark? perhaps the plug wires were put in the wrong order on the dizzy? just some suggestions, but it sounds spark related.
