Icon6 B16A wont stay running

B16A wont stay running.

I swap out the motor from my eg to my ek, start it up BAM! the motor runs great. I let it run for about 25 minutes to charge the battery and bleed the cooling system. I turn the car off and finish up some different things on the car. Time to call it a day.... the suns going down, mosquitos are killing me so I go to start the car one more time and its idling like crap. I give it gas and it dies on me. Tried to start it again, stays running for a few minutes running like crap and then dies. WTF!

You need to give more details. Do you have any CEL's?

No CEL's. Running an ex harness that came with the car to a P28 ECU chipped. Same computer I used in the eg for this same motor.

Wow speaking of plug wires. Thanks for the help but when I ask a question Ive exhausted everything I know. Ive been doing this for awhile, alot longer than alot of you have anyway.

I figured the problem out already and the reason why is cause I looked at the spark plugs. They were black and powdery so right away I knew what to check next and sure enough, fixed.

Any ideas?
