I have a 97 civic 4dr D16Y7, but I did a swap to D16Y5 engine. I was trying to put an OBD2 ECU (37820-P2P-A92 D16Y8), when I connect the ECU the car doesn't start up

should I need something else? because as my knowledge the Y5 is an V-tec engine

here somes, pic's

The ECU you want is a P2N, but non the less the car should still start, it just wont run like it should.

 

are you switching from p2e to p2p??

 

you're talking something like this?

did you unplug the battery when you connected the ecu?

 

oops! I didn't

 

thats ok just check the ECU fuse under the hood it may be blown....i mean you can fry the ecu that way but most of the time its no big deal it just blows the fuse
