yeah i checked that.. maybe i did though its very possible ill redo it all first thing in the morning... BTW does that mean im ok with the eg clutch set-up on the crx tranny???
Check the thermostat ground, valve cover ground, transmission ground, and negative to chassis ground. I put a new ground on my car without attaching it to the chassis as well as the transmission and the car wouldn't do much more than what you're describing. Took me a few days and some serious frustration to figure out. It was actually having another set of eyes while looking at my woman's '90 DX that pointed it out to me.
And yeah, you're fine with that set up. I'm running the same thing on my swap.
