Any of you that have H22's in your Accords may be able to answer this for me. I swapped a 95 JDM H22 into my 99 Acura 2.3 CL. The motor had some complications at first but have been worked through. I have had the H22 for about 6 months. It runs well, but there are some little things that bother me.

1. A sort of rubbing/grinding felt in the throttle during full acceleration in 1st gear. Possible Transmission mount?Suggestions?(been there for 6 months.)
2.Fluctuating idle from 0-1000. It slowly bounces to 0 at a complete stop, and when given gas to try and keep the car running...it makes a sort of knocking/rattle when accelerating from 0 RPMs. When I run the A/C, the entire dash ratlles why the idle sits around 0-250 RPM's and attempts to die! Sort of like my timing is retarded too much. could this possibly be because I used the F23's Alternator, instead of the H22's? What is the difference?

I have had 3 check engine lights since the swap: TPS Sensor, HO2S, and EGR. EGR is expected, because it is not there. TPS....Possibly because of the Skunk2 Throttle body, and Intake Manifold. How can I make it so the TPS will leave me alone...I suspect this being tied to the idle issue.HO2S...O2 Sensor?

Anyways, if any of you have any experience with issues like this, please help me out.
MODS are:
99 H22 CL
DC Sports Header
Fields Unit
Skunk2 IM
Skunk2 TB
AEM Fuel Rail
AEM Pressure Regulator
SRI
ACT Stage 2 Clutch
ClutchMasters Flywheel.

 

Maybe the ECU is causing the rough idle, but I just dunno about the other stuff. Does it stumble at all during acceleration?

 

Yea, it feels like it wants to go, but there is something holding it back. It is not real noticeable, but you can tell when the engine is cold. I have a P13 ECU. I would like to get a chipped P28, but funds are limited right now.

Any other suggestions?
