now why in the world, just out of curiousity, would you :
1: Buy a d15b? How about we get rid of the d15, and stick with a B..


2:You must really thought people on here would help you after you told them you had a zip tie on your dizzy to hold it there? and, its a nonvtec dizzy?

If your car revs to limitor in 1st and 2nd, and not in third, its cause your taking your foot off the gas pedal. the ECU doesnt reconize what gear your in, unless your car is an automatic? otherwise its one fuel map for all 5 gears!!!!
