Default ZC Motor Smells Bad!
I have a ZC motor in my 1988 Honda CRX Si and as I'm idling is smells like rotten eggs. I have been told that because I don't have the ZC ECU that it is not tuned right. Is this true or what is wrong and what can I do to fix it or make it better?

how long ago did you replace it? it may take some time to get rid of the smell.
