Problems with a B18C1 swap
alright so i got a B18C1 with a JDM OBD-I ECU in a EG now. Everything seems fine. But it seems the motor has problems idling as well as stalling in neutral or slowing down at a stop light. Anyone else have this same problem before or know how I can get this fixed?

Check all vacuum lines, and do you have any CEL's?

Not really.
Another thing I would do, is remove your IACV, and clean the screens using Carb/Brake cleaner. Spray those bad boys and put the IACV back on.

Cleaning the IACV?
The screens sometimes get dirty or have carbon build up on them so it cannot idle the motor properly.

Re: Problems with a B18C1 swap (poison)
