Default 1994 Civic with H22A2 swap problems, P28 ECU HELP !!!

Hi guys,

I have a 1994 Honda Civic with an H22a2 that was installed. I bought the car running with no error codes and working. A week later it broke the timing belt and I let the car sit for about 1 year.

I started working on the car a few weeks back, got a used head which I had serviced with new supertech flat head valves & springs, ported and polished runners an the rest is stock. I also got the butterflies on the intake manifold removed and some small polishing as well as opening the Thorttle Body to hold a 70mm one. I am using the stock thorttle body for now. I have nothing else done to the engine.

I started the car up 2 days ago and I ran into issues with the codes 10, 14, 20, 36. I have checked the IACV (code 14) and it seems to be working but still the engine acts as you can see on the video (as if there is a vacuum leak).

The car has no traction control but still do I get the code for it. I have a P28 ECU installed in my car and have not been able to get a reliable pin diagram to check all sensors and where they plug into the ECU. Still, the car was running before so why not now?

For code 20 I have checked and could not find the ELD but the alternator at around 2000rpm is charging 14,36V which I think is to high, could this be the reason for the code?

I have checked the harness and it seems to be plugged in correctly in all sensors. EGT is not used on my car.

Hope this helps. I can't even find CEL 36. Definitely check the vacuum lines for leaks.

These are the pin designations for the OBD1 ECU as well as their wire color and voltage. I always have a hard time finding this information when I need it as I'm sure others do, so here it is

Hello Fremananana,

Thanks for the response. I forgot to mention I am in Europe and all of this is Euro Spec stuff.

Any other help is highly appreciated.

The surging idle sound like a bad or dirty IACV. Try to clean it or test a good one from a friend.

For the ELD enter in the program and disable it.

For vacuum leaks spray carb cleaner in the vacuum hoses. Put your hand on the throttle to know if the car die immediately.

from the photos look like the IACV and IAT have the correct wires but double check it. At first I think they where switched.

IACV= blue/Yel + Yel/BLK
IAT= Red/Yel + Grn/WHt

hi my friend,here is bobobrasil,i hope this will help you a little... if you already fix your problem than
here is something somethintg,i got same problem before few months,my throttle was up and down,on cold crank even more,vibration on engine,weird sounds,knocking,(that is some stuff that i even dont hear on your H22)but that problem what you got,you have even more oscilation when is engine cold???because that is what happen to me..
i change first battery,than ignition switch,than i clean IAC,than i clean EGR,than THROTLE,....than after big time working i got nowhere,so i try to make something on my own hand even i got no any light to check with what i dealing with,so i change TOP DEAD CENTER SENSOR or CRANK SHAFT SENSOR,cable with two sensors on it,till today i have no any problems with H22a2,got same engine like you,ecu is slightly different but if you already change TDC sensor/or/ solve your problem than long live H22a2 yors and mine!!!

and what i forgot mentioned,mine car is also got jumping on the road every time when i was on 3000rpm,when i drive below everithing ok...so like i said TDC sensor,if you already try to clean EGR,IAC and all eco things...this and ignition switch is common problem on H22a2,this is my second engine a2 and is very sync,very strong,and relaible but some glitches offcourse got...cheers
