Default 90 ef with b18 problem

someone please help, got a 90 civic hatch std model, with a 91' b18 Ls. did the mpfi and all, having a weird situation. i ran it with a 88" crx si pm6 ecu and idles poorly. then when i would disconnect the vacuum that goes to the map to the throttle body it idles perfect but then the check engine light will turn on. now i would put a 91 hf crx pm8 ecu and it will sound a lil better with the vacuum line connected but will actually idle better and run without the vac, and the check engine light wont turn on unless u shut off the car and start it back.

wut the hell is going on

thanks

Your pm6 or pm8 isnt made to run a b18. You should go get an ls ecu from a obd0 motor.

this is the problem, i start my car with the map connected idles like its off timing, then i disconnect it, idles at 900 sounds like its fixed, and doesnt choke up but you can tell it still isnt right, i drive it everyday like dat, changed the map and got a pr4 on it and still acts up any ideas.

and for those who dont understand i can actually record everything sound and u can see wut i do to drive it daily
