will it work ?

will the distributer and other stuff from a odb1 work on a odb2 ecu??

I have a 93 civic and i just swapped in a d16z6 , the guy i bought it from said it has a ecu from a 2000 (odb-2) (the car also had a d18y8 but i blew that motor)

also the check engine light bulb is removed from the dash, i never cared about it till now cause im having some serious issues with the car (wont idle right and bogs badly )

If I put the bulb back in , will I even be able to check for codes since the ecu is a odb 2?

could my probem be the odb2 ecu ??

BUMp

after more research.
Im thinking the odb 2 ecu doesnt like the odb 1 distributor....

anyone ??

 

what numbers are written on the ecu?

 

distributor shouldnt matter think. put your cel bulb back in and check your codes so u know where to start

 

Well, you should definitely put back the bulb for your CEL and see if its throwing codes if your car isn't running correctly.

So are you running the obd2 ECU right now? Because you sound like your asking if it will work, but your saying that your problem could be the obd2 ECU your running now?

I don't think the distributor should matter if you have an obd1 to obd2 conversion harness for your ECU.

 

Well im just runing out of ideas on what can be wrong .
I swapped out the entie intake manifold and allthe sensors from my blow y8 motor cause i know everything on there was good. Im realy running out of ideas.


Im just asking also if i put the cel bulb back in ,, will i even e able to check for codes since its odbs

 

You should still be able to pull the codes from the jumper by the ECU

the p28 ecu is OBD1........ not OBD2, so you have the right ecu.....you can rule that out!!! Put the bulb back in the cluster and flash your codes.....then we can help you further....

 

K guys bulb is back in , I also found the jumper(the previous owner cut off the blue clip and jet left the to wires hanging. I was orried at first.

My only codes are

19 Automatic transmission lockup control valve
Im 5spd but im assuming my ecu is from a auto

and 22 VTEC pressure valve


Could the vtech pressure valve be whats causeing my crazy ible and serious lag/ bogging?


From what i first thought it was is the feul pump, at least thats what it feels like....

 

you should convert your p28 to manual there is a write up on here on how to do it
