Okay, here is the story.
I had a 99 Civic Si with an ITR bottom end, and put it into my 92 Civic CX. I used an integra GS-R(obd II) wire harness, Kenji harness adapter, and programed P72 ECU. I installed a new timing belt, retainers, valves, because the stock belt broke.

Put it all together and put it in. Hooked up the CKF (white/red to C11, and Blue/red to C1, EVAP (yellow/black to another yellow/black for power), EVAP Solenoid wired to A20, Knock sensor to D3, and VTEC was already there.

Now the car won't run. It idles(actually good for my Spec C cams), but cuts out when I give it just the slightest amount of gas. Under any load it dies. The brakes are soft and won't hold a firm pedal. I re-used the CX's charcoal canister and ran 3 vacuum lines to it.

I'm getting a code 5 from the ECU. While the car was idling the check engine light was flashing as well (after about 5-10 min.) I changed the MAP sensor with a good one, but it still didn't run at all.

Vacuum lines are hooked up correctly.

I haven't a clue on what to do. I'm at my wits end. Is there anything I've missed? Should I have used the Si's charcoal canister and lines?

Okay everyone, move right along....nothing to see here, no problems, everything is okay. Just me sitting here in the corner with a DUNCE cap on. Go ahead, nothing to see.

If you want to know what the problem was, well, lets just say the throttle angle sensor and MAP sensor connectors are the same size, shape and # of pins, but they have different color wires running to them.....funny thing huh?


BTW, car runs good and strong once I made a simple swap of connectors

 

HAHA!

sack-who loves giving Chad a hard time

 

I did the same thing. No codes, ran like ****, die when you pushed the gas. Only reason I realized is because I remebered the tps wire is black/red, and found the problem. I hate when its something simple.

 

that will make me mark all of my connectors when i pull my motor out. thanks

 

No problem.......uh, that's the reason I hooked it up wrong

Yea, I just wanted to help teach others for when they do their swap
