what this guy said^^, also including what kind of car you have might help us out a little bit. If your stuffing a D15b into a EK 4 door, then that might not have been the brightest idea. Oh and my friend had a D15b and it ran like garbage, now he is in the process of rebuilding it, so maybe its just the engine and not the fact that its been converted.

Hm. If you have an OBDI motor you need to be sure that your harness is converted correctly for that motor and OBDI, and you need an OBDII-&gt;I jumper.

whats that mean? an OBDII-OBDI jumper is merely plug and play, no extra wiring required. With a USDM engine, its even easier, if you have an OBDII engine, you just hook it up to your factory harness, and plug in an OBDI ecu.
