double check your wiring again.... # 4 & 9 are what controls ur firing, 10 is ur Intake air temp. 14 is ur idle air control valve and 20 is eletronic load detector sound like you have a bunch of wires crossed..... be care ECU are hard to find

ok now if i remember right the idle air and the intake temp sensor have the same plugs and due to there new location on the si intake. the idle air plug is easier to plug into the intake temp so switch thos and should take care of those 2 codes. and the electric load usuall is the ground on the thermastat housing.

did you buy a harness because the dx is dpfi and the si motor is mpfi.

i rewired the dx harness but code came up, then i got a SI harness to see if it fits but it doesn't. Plug from the engine harness to the body harness does match. So i m really confuse.
