code 6, 10, 16, 21, need help!
as stated above i pulled these codes from an OBD1 Chipped GSR ECU from my 93 CX hatch with OB2A- OBD2B motor (not sure) but its an 2000 LS motor that i swapped into my hatch. When i put my buddy's OBD1 LS ECU in, it only threw one code(code 16). So far i swapped the OBD2 dizzy with a GSR OBD1 dizzy and used a 95 GSR engine wire hardness instead of the LS wire hardness. I also have a DC 4-2-1 two piece header on, MSD 8.5mm spark wires.
BTW the motor has 46101 mi.
issue #2: I noticed that there is one extra plug (two wires that looks like the one for IACV) from the GSR wire hardness that needs to be plugged somewhere and i know its for the PVC, but i can't find the PVC on the Intake mani or throttle bod anywhere. Theres also about two more vaccum lines from the black plastic PVC can thingy mounted to the firewall that i don't know where to connect it to? the real problem is that the car seems not to hold the idle at its place, (the idling is like needing some sort of memory because every time i set the timing on TDC, i would crank the car the next day and it would just crank like it needs more fuel and of course the timing would be off again) can the injectors be bad? anyone help me on this? any advice would help?

code 6 ECT - water temperature sensor
10 IAT - intake air temperature sensor
16 Fuel injectors
21 VTEC spool solenoid valve
well code 21 , vtec, youre going to throw with a gsr ecu since an ls motor doesnt have vtec....
and why would you swap from a ls harness to gsr? doesnt make sense.
code 16 fuel injectors.... are you using the injectors that came with the 2000 ls motor? if so you need obd1 injectors since youre running an obd1 ecu.
sounds like youve got a decent mess on your hands and i'm still questioning why you did or are using a couple different things. not too sure about the ect or iat besides you just need to plug them in or test the sensors to make sure theyre ok

Re: code 6, 10, 16, 21, need help! (95dxhatch)
i know what the codes are, i just need to know why and how to fix the codes. And the reason why i mix-n-match so much stuff with the swap is that i had the GSR engine wire hardness lying around and i wanted everything OBD1. Thats why i used OBD1 dizzy and ECU along with the GSR engine hardness to make the swap easier instead of splicing and extending the OBD1 and OBD2 wires. I just want to know what and what is going to make my car run like normal again.
My other solution: i was thinking about swapping out my LS intake mani and getting an OBD1 GSR mani and using the plugs and IACV and all that other stuff from the LS mani to make it simplier for me, what do you guys think?? please any advice would help..

return car to afforementioned state, and then swap injectors??
that might be a little bit better than your current situation

yeah and it sounds easier then messing with all these new codes.
good luck, i know i hate trying to figure out my codes when i get new ones.
