check O2 sensor. Also check the cat for clogs....sometimes they get clogged and they run like ****. Check that all first

Drop a B18C1 in there then you'll be happy.

where is your fuel pressure, find some stock injectors to use and see if thats the problem. i think 310's w/o engine management is a little too much.

barley stays idle if i push the clutch in while moving is shut off. it bogs in every gear when i try to take it past 3100. fuel psi is sat at 38. spark plug gap is fine. i got positive feed to the injectors timing is fine. i got all the sensors plugged. no clogged fuel line. i got good vacuum.im all out of ideal besided the fact it might be a fried ecu. i might be over looking something.

have you put a timing light on it? and i agree that the injectors are overkill, the stock injectors could run it properly, but i don't think that is your problem.

IMO, your timing is off a tooth or so, or your injectors are drowning your cylinders. I can't think of much else that would have those symptoms.

i wouldn't say my car runs and bogs...but i have a CEL for 10 and 43...being the IAT and fuel supply...if i let my car idle about 2 mins later it'll just die?? weird...it doesn't bog or anything...

i have a similar set-up being a b18b in a 98 hatch..with the conversion harness and pr4 ecu...i checked all wiring...all vaccums...all stock....everyhting is correct...but i still have my CEL...i think its your injectors..
