Default Gonna shoot myself... H22 install help!!!!

Wired up the ECU, fired it up.... wasted 4 hours.

Firstly it sounds like its misfiring. Secondly i'm smelling gasoline, suggesting maybe the misfire is in fact one or more of the cylinders not firing whatsoever.

Thirdly, the car won't shift out park while its running in this bucking state. Its an AT so i might have trouble getting an answer on that one. When I use the shift lock to put it into neutral, then restart the car, it shifts into drive and reverse (tries to) but stalls out within seconds of being in gear. Again, all the while i'm smelling gas.


anybody....

Are you sure you have the plug wires on right? Start simple and then go to the harder things when looking for the problem.

I'm pretty darn sure.

That partly why I'm so floored by all this. I've had my nose in a pile of helms diagrams and swap guides for a week in preparation for doing this.

It seems like if anything the ignition is running incorrectly. The fact that I'm smelling gas means the injectors are shooting, and the fact that it even turned over at all could mean that I've got something very simple installed incorrectly.

there were two wires that I left go. Coming from the OBD2 harness that I used is a light green wire that went into the C plug that was labeled K-LINE. I understand this to be some sort of a Data Connector. The swap guide that I used basically showed that there was nowhere for this to go on the OBD1 ECU, so i left it go. However there was a light green/red wire coming from the OBD1 ECU that is labeled as TXD/RXD, which I thought might be the match for the K-LINE. But since I wasn't sure, I left both alone.

the second wire came off the A/T TCM. It was Blue, and on the diagram I had it is labeled as "NE" and looks like it should be going to the ignition control unit. This wire is also currently disconnected because (a.) it was not listed in the swap guides, and (b.) there was no wire for it left over on the OBD2 harness when all was said and done.
