Default CEL throwing a CODE "0" = bad ECU?

not to long ago my dizzy messed up throwing its code. i fixed it. reset the ECU and went back to check the code again. this time it gave me a STALE CODE. when i turned the ignition to ACC. it just stayed on. and no blinks or anything. which i am assuming it is a code 0. my vtec doesnt pop as hard as it used to. even after advancing my timing it popped just a bit harder but not like it used to. so yesterday i bought a p13 spoon ECU *yes its authetic chip* vtec x-over at 5k-8,500. i feel more kick in this ECU but it still doesnt seem to make a big difference. and just right now i checked my codes to see if its still a CODE 0 and it still is. since i changed my ECU, what other possibilities should i be looking for as well? thanks guys!!

Don't bump old threads.

You most likely have a problem elsewhere, check around.
