Default z6 into ek - running with problems

Bought at auction but not sure everything that has been done.

98 EX

D16Z6 swap

Did the CKF Bypass Trick

running OBD2A, p2p ecu, injectors, alternator, engine harness.

D16Y8 Dizzy (all 3 bolts dont line up just 2 but it will work fyi)


Issues:

Iac's - I cleaned it, but ive been reading about 2/3 wire, and this is already 2?

Dies after about 4 minutes of running

Rev's fine sitting, under load it struggles to hold rpm and wants to die letting clutch out... basically gotta rev it pretty high and dump the clutch and it sometimes moves.




Just looking for answers if need anymore info about setup let me know.

Id like to just get this setup running nicely and drive it, or if I cant in a few weeks looking to get a Y8 swap and I think that would fix all the problems.

If I'm correct the D16Z6 is from 92-95 so you need a p28 ecu, not a p2p which is 96-00.

u dont know if the bypass trick is working or not? isnt like u have to buy a chipped ecu? u can buy a stock p28 for 50 bux and a conversion harness for 35 or so wouldnt quiet be 200 bux. maybe look up the by pass wiring and see if its right.
