Default Car wont run correctly.

Alrighty, I just recently rebuilt the motor and did a 5speed swap. Put it back in and everything hooked up right. Its running super rich you can smell it, It has an odd idle. Sounds like it has drag launch at 1600 rpms. Ive got 2 videos to show you what i mean. Oh dont worry about the red wires, Its a temp fix.

Sounds like it's running on three cylinders and looks like it's burning oil (blue smoke).

Keep in mind the motor was just rebuilt and has ran for a totally 15minutes at most. I mean i can smell raw fuel out the tail pipe but no oil. As for running on three 3cylinders, I shall find out tomorrow.Also it has the factory wiring harness for auto y7. Just converted it for vtec. Everything is plugged up as far as i can tell, Havent found anything unplugged except the stuff for the tranny

Hate to be an a-hole and change subject, but you rly got a SRT4? lol
and bein that you own one, probably why you didn't think about ignition timing on your Honda. Most us Neon owners wouldn't...

I know for sure its throwing codes but ive got no OBD reader. And im pretty sure it wouldnt make it to the closest advanced/autozone.

You don't need a code reader:

Yea, if u know your 1st gen Neons at all lol, you'd know they use like a morse code kinda deal lmao. like 5 flashes 5 flashes, pause and = 55, 2 flashes, pause, 1 flash, pause=21 ****in ghetto compared to say ur SRT wich displayed it below the gauge cluster. OBD-I is better in some ways and shittier in others, i guess.

Im assuming Hondas have the same sort of ign. key trick "morse code" deal, or in newer models the good ol key trick to make it show on the gauge cluster.
