youve got a bit of a problem there
97 being 2a
98 being 2b
Either find the pinout and repin whats different or take it up the *** and buy a harness

well the difference between a del sol and ek civics is in the wiring harness itself. in a delsol, the engine harness and interior harness meet at the shock tower and with the EKs, the engine harness goes straight to the ECU, hopes that helps u out.

as for the question up above, sounds like you have the wrong ECU or harness. 96-98 harnesses are the same but the 99-00 harnesses are different. I think the only difference is the ECU plugs. Dont take my word for it but thats all i know about this subject

edit, if all else fails, use the original engine harness and original ECU on the new motor
