mista, u have VTEC problems with your swap? 22 is VTEC for OBD1-2..

Me, I've been rolling the EVAP code since the swap, and occasionally the o2 code when I'm open.. Other than that the swap went without a hitch..

If u can provide the trouble code and what year motor, we'd be able to assist u alot more.. If u have no idea how to get this code and if u don't have a Game Genie, email me and I let u know how to..
