I thought 99 ECU's had different plugs at the ECU than 96-98???? What is the number on the side of the ECU? xxxxxxxxx-xxx-xxxxxxx

Flipboi,
It is ok to run the dx ecu. Actually it is probably better. Honda computers are programmed to run rich at WOT(which is safer, but can also hurt power slightly), so when you run a computer that it is programmed for a sohc, on a dohc motor, the extra air that the dohc flows will lean the mixture out slightly and provide a stoich mixture. I don't understand why you are having idling issues with the other computer however. Did you throw any codes with it? Did you throw any with the sohc? If you want some good hard facts on running the sohc computer go to the hybrid-honda webpage. The performed a whle bunch of dyno tests on a b20 with a range of computers. I think it is something like http://www.hybrid-honda perf.org or something like that. Just do a search for Hybrid Honda.
