Default Help! B16 swap gone bad

Ok, first of all, I can get the car started, but it runs very rich, and usually takes several trys to get her going. Im throwing a code 6 (engine coolant sensor) and 14 (Intake Air Control) and I can understand why the engine is being given too much fuel b/c of the code 6. So I fire her up to take her out for the first time (actually to go to the gas station to get the codes fixed) and put her in reverse, and it feels like shes getting bogged down and is about to stall out. she barely moves at all. and then i push in the clutch and its like the brakes are on or something and she stops really quickly, but doesnt stall. Can anybody help me with my problems? Thanks guys... o btw its a 88 CRX si, with a first gen b16

what ecu r u running cuz when i borrowed my friends stock sir ecu it would bog in reverse. also do u have ur map sesnsor hooked up. and it wouldnt run rich cuz of the code 6 it would run rich cuz of the code 14. check the plug to see if it is pluuged in or the sensor could be bad.

im running the pr3 ecu... I also found out that it bogs in 1st. but i put my car in neutral, turned it off, and released the e-brake, and i couldnt move her at all, so im thinking that maybe the brakes are locked up. Wheres the sensor for the Intake Air Control? I checked the Coolant temp connections and they're all plugged in....

i would say to try to borrow someone elses ecu to see if it still bogs you should also make sure that ur injectors are clean and that ur spark plugs and wires are good as well as ur rotor and cap. and when u say intake air control do u mean idle air control valve which would be on the back of the intake manifold.

alos i see that u r in MD, right now i am in Manchester visiting my dad and was wondering where the car hangouts r at or the street racing cuz im bored as ****
