Default after MPFI swap.. codes 4,8,9

Well i just finished a MPFI swap on a 89 dx crx.. i put in a jdm d15b vtec in it for a friend and i still have it running obdo (vtec isnt hooked up) but i wired the dizzy to obd1 because the motor came with a obd1 dizzy.. i thought maybe i switched up pin b10 and b12 at the ecu so i switch thos around and it seems like it runs worse now so i put them back to the way it was before..

i know these sensors are all in the dizzy but do u think the dizzy might of tookin a ****?


code-

4- crank angle
8-TDC
9- CYP

You can't run the OBD1 dizzy with an OBD0 ECU.

Oh really?
And how many of them ran correctly?

The reluctor ring inside the distributor has a different number of teeth.
If you run the OBD-1 on your OBD-0 ECU then you get the wrong pulses to the ECU... and it will never run right.

Then yes, you can use OBD-1 injectors.
