Default 1992 civic, zc mini me, intake manifold wiring help

alright so my hatch came with a sohc zc non vtec motor, i have put a d16z6 head on in. here is the problem. with the p28 ecu hooked up i get so many codes, all relating to intake manifold sensors, and the car bogs when i try to drive it. with the old non vtec ecu, still get a code didnt read it but the car runs "better"

so im wondering what i have to do to fix the sensor problem with the p28, all the sensors have the same clip, are they plugged in differently on the z6 manifold because of placement?

if i didnt include something that could be of use please let me know

Yeah. All the codes you're getting. Make a list.
And did you wire for VTEC?

yes vtec is wired up, and i got all the codes to go away, except for the EGR, which my car has never had, the p28 thinks it does so its throwing the code. which sucks i hate seeing the check engine light. i was kinda able to drive the car, it ran out of gas and the altenator belt broke so i dont know if its driving right still

The P28 ECU must have a chip that is looking for an EGR system.

A virgin P28 should not throw an EGR code. What is the code that is thrown?

Then why would you think the CEL is on for the EGR system?

Pull the code(s) and post it.

Post the code and stop all the guessing. A p28 doesn't use a knock sensor so that shouldn't matter at all. Why are you not running an 02 sensor? You need the primary 02 unless your ecu has a program to delete it.

ed6teto: you're thread jacking and confusing two people who are trying to help the original poster. Leave as you have nothing to contribute.

If you have something to help the op then give it up.

No one cares about your subframe here.
