Default EK w/JDM GSR Hybrid Problems!! Please Help!!!!

97 EK w/JDM GSR engine w/OBD1 P72 ECU.

Problems: Fluctuating idle, temperature drop, car studders.
Recent Code 43 - Fuel Supply, but no longer lighting up.

We are still using the stock CX radiator and stock CX wiring harness that we rewired. We can't figure this out. The temperature drops while driving and sometimes fluctuates from warm to cold.

Can anybody HELP!!!!!!!

If the temperature drops suddenly, your thermostat is probably shot. When they go bad, they usually are stuck open, which means that at idle, the motor will warm up, and when you rev it, it pumps more water and cools down.

Thermostats are cheap.

Thanks a lot, I think that's the problem.
