#1 sounds like your injectors are dirty clean them with some brake cleaner throw em back in and see if its still throwing the injectors codes

#2 bad o2 sensor equals bad fuel mix you could be running lean or rich get them chacked and cleaned/replaced

#3 Egr could either be defective or just stuck open or shut from carbon deposits get some carbeurator cleaner and let it soak if it is electronic make sure that the electronic parts dont come in contact with the cleaner...

After doing all this runn through codes again if you arent throwing them anymore than your good if you are which ever ones are still being thrown may need to be replaced or serviced more extensivly
GL try these than post results

you are throwing a CEL, you are limited because the ECU thinks something is wrong.

If it were a prob with the IAB he would be throwing a code for it I believe
Also I think that VTEC is suppressed while trowing codes but not sure all i can tell you is try these things than if prob with VTEC still persists post it up to us

do u have a vtec controller setup? or is the p72 chipped? if so, that could cause ur **** to not pull right, also, not rev to 8200. i had an si, and i bought a chipped p72 for it, converted to obd1 and everything. and the vtec engagement was set at 4600, which is really low considering it was all motor. so vtec didn't pull worth ****, almost was like it didnt pull at all. also, having bad o2's will make ur car run like ****, so i advise u to replace them immediately! o2's r the death of hondas

If your O2 sensor isn't reading, you will get awful gas milage and shitty performance. Replace it.

Are you sure you're reading those codes right, because a P72 ECU will NOT throw a code for anything EGR related. Is it a code 12? 12 is definately EGR valve lift, but I can't see how your P72 would even throw that ****.

No Integra GS-Rs had EGR, unless possibly you have an auto VTEC P72 ECU from a JDM GS-R auto, but it'd be throwing codes for lock-up since you've got a 5-speedtrans. with an auto ECU. Again if you've got a 5-speed P72 ECU it cannot throw a code for EGR.

Re-read those codes carefully and see what you've got.

Also even if the IABs are not hooked up the car stills pulls good, and they do not throw CELs of any kind.

I had same issue but i was throwing another code with this one....once i fixed the other code this one went away....OTHER code was IAT temperature....Vtec probably won't engage correctly if you are still throwing the fuel injector code also

from the video this is the only code he is throwing, therefor he should fix that one and continue from there.

he is just reading the codes wrong.

the codes will repeat over and over, and if you look at the video its a 22, not 3 diff codes
