well first converted to mpfi with a y8 manifold then converted the head from 90 to 92-95 vtec with an ajustible cam sprocket the codes are 1 and 9 one for the oxygen the other for the dizzy but the dizzy is brand new cant seem to figue it out. by the way running a p28, if the timming is off a tooth the ajustible cam sprocket would fix that problem,already done that.
