Default civic problems HELP!

background:
97 dx block
99 ex head, intake mani, tb
stock harness with obd2-obd1 jumper p28 ecu

OK
so i did the mini me swap and ran into a couple problems. i finally got the timing done right and did a little valve adjustment so the car would start and run fine.

NOW i took it on a test drive and there is no power on low end. once it reaches about 3-4k rpm it starts to struggle but a little less. currently dont have a intake system on the car (just went for a quick test drive) not sure if that may be causing the issue.

Also my CEL wont turn off. i cleared it numerous times, and it still pops up.


Please help with any suggestions ideas or anyone around SF who can help??

Thanks in advance

It was throwing misfire and i fixed the firing order and adjusted the timing.
cel still stays on.

Im using a p28 ecu with stock y7 harness.
Added the wires for vtec. Have a obd2-1 jumper.

Thinkin maybe the p28 ecu is tryna read dual butterflies on the throttle body?
Car seems to struggle
