i own a 94 civic sedan im runnning a 1.6 d16z6 vtec engine, but im running the wrong ecu im running a P06 when i should be running a P28 i have one but its bad it does not let me shift gears and it wont turn on without help of the gas pedal. so i figureed ecu is bad so im still running my P06 and it runs okay not great but okay i was wondering if i wire the vtec and convert the P06 to a vtec one will it run better or will i jus mess up the ecu

Here's a question that requires some critical thinking.
Why would you be able to convert a non-VTEC ECU to have VTEC functionality (like many many people have) if it would somehow "mess up" the ECU?

Just get a working P28 as a spare if this simple concept seems to be above your head.

yeaaah ur ritee but i would still have to wire the vtec no?

Yes.

You say it wont let you shift gears? If it's an automatic get a proper P28 automatic ECU.

Also, if you convert a P06 to vtec it also needs to be chipped and tuned, which is fine, but if it's a stock D-series it makes more sense financially to just buy a P28.

Just get a P28

yeaah my P28 is automatic i looked it up it is an auto but it dont let me shift gears soo i guess its bad ill jus get a new one and wire the vtec that way it runs good
