My car recently just died, we thought it was the distributor but it was the ECU. My stock ecu was a p2e on a d16y7 00 civic ek, when we replaced it my friends dad (mechanic) just picked it up from some shop and we put it in. Now when I drive my idle is different and my acceleration at low rpm is way slower, doesn't pick up fast enough, and my high rpm is kicking in stronger at like 2.5-3 rpm but at the same time when I'm in this zone my car beings to bog, like my throttle body response is not quick enough, anyone know the reason why? We think it might be the d16y8 ecu? But there's no check engine. And also when we tested my dizzy, they said that my dizzy is bad that it turns on and off, so can that be another reason? Thanks for your help!

 

I've no idea for that. Hope u solve the prob soon.

 

Sounds like your distributor timing maybe retarded. Did your mechanic remove your distributor? If so, this is probably the issue.

 

yes distributor was removed since we though the distributor was the problem at the beginning. but put it back in, but if it was running weird would that put m car in any danger right now? should i not drive as much? and im sure the distributor timing is off too cause i bog like crazy today in high rpm, my throttle body response is off
