i have a 89 crx and just swapped a d16z6 engine into it. The original ecu the pr3 was working fine with it, but now i bought a p28 and want to install it. I bought the conversion harness and plugged it to the p28 to the car. The problem is that it won't start right, it makes a choppy sound. Help!!!

What do you mean choppy sound?

Does the engine start and idle rough.

 

the car starts up then dies right away

 

Does it die if you hold the gas for a little while?

 

sometimes it won't start up, and when it does start up, the idle stays below 1000, i tried putting into first to see if it would go, but it just dies again.

 

i figured after buying the harness it should just be connecting the adapter to the p28 and that's it..

so all he does is change those 4 wires around then connect the harness to the ecu and he's finished??

 

Do you have an 0BD1 distributor?
