i have a 94 accord lx. i just recently swapped a 93-95 jdm prelude H22A. im using the motor, tranny, and P13 ECU. i got everything done and the car starts (barely). its got a new dizzy, rotor button, cap, plugs, and plug wires. the problem is the car runs choppy as hell. wont rev past 3K. all vacum lines are good and in right order. any advice would be greatly appreciated?

 

is your check engine light on?

 

yeah if you have any cells then it wont let it rev past that have a friend that had the same problem and to fix all the cells first

accord and preludes have one wire that is different...you need to switch the egr wire and i think some heater wire at the ecu. its been a while since i had to do it but i remember it sounded and ran like crap before i switched them. i found this out in one of those h22a swap guides on the net im sure you can find it if you havent switched them already. i also had a problem with the egr on my h22a. my personal reccommendation as a h22a accord owner: block egr, get a obd1 gsr ecu(no egr) and a vafc, disable the secondary runners so theyre open all the time. i went through months of headaches with my swap and idling problems...its best to go all out. check out my accord, the link is in my signature, good luck and holla if you got a ?

 

anyone else got anything? we cant figure this thing out?

 

...grounds...?

What is the code?

 

grounds are good, and it wont give any codes, the cel comes on and stays on.

 

sounds like you got a bad ecu or you plugged in stuff wrong on the engine, like putting tps and egr plugs on teh wrong places or something.

 

ok guys i got all that **** fixed now when i drive the car it feels like the axles are binding up. i can drop the throttle and it wont pickup like it should. any ideeas on that?
