Default replaced motor in dx hatch--throwing wierd code

Well, I bought a dx hatch in really good condition about a month ago for 400 and the guy gave me a couple motors and some other **** too. Both motors were D15b2. One hada blown headgasket and the other had thrown a rod and had a nickle sized hole in the block. I replaced the head gasket on the one and put it in and it runs fine but it throws a wierd code. It throws code 20 but it's not 2 long blinks... it is 20 short blinks. I looked around but i'm pretty sure that code 20 isn't on any code list i have found. Anyone know what this could be?

But to help you.

Check your engine grounds.

Listen to me carefully.

The grounds to check

thermostat housing. From the engine harness. Clean this so its nice a nice and shiny.

Valve cover to rad support. clean contact points make sure the wire isn't all broken up as they tend to do

and

most important. Tranny to GROUND (this ground point is under the battery) to negative battery terminal.

check all of those points.

If that doesn't fix it. Replace the fuse box. The ELD is actually located inside this.

haha, this will help a lot. I bet it is the grounds cause the valve cover ground is shitty, the ecu ground to the thermostat is loose, and the tranny ground is all dirty.
