This shows how to convert a JDM motor but the basics are the same. You need to make the OBD2A P72 ECU you should be using very happy. Which means all of the listed sensors need to be there and working properly. Secondary O2 sensor with a working cat, CKF sensor, purge solenoid, knock sensor, etc Since you have a GSR you will need to have functioning secondary butterflies and since your car was swapped to OBD1 with the engine swap I doubt any of that stuff was connected.

Do you know how to read? This was a quote from your other thread.


When WHOEVER did your swap they never connected those sensors because they just gave you a conversion harness and an OBD1 ECU because they were lazy and didn’t connect the proper OBD2 ECU and related sensors, which is a bitch to get working properly. If you notice all of the DTCs you have are for sensors I mentioned.

You need to read and search on how to connect or trick those sensors. All of which has been covered to death on this forum. If you read and fully understand these 2 links I'm posting you should not have a single question.
