Default 1991 crx zc swap issue

ok i have a 1991 honda crx hf with a what i believe to be a poorly done swap (bought it this way) when im driving at low rpms it cuts out and wants to die. If i keep it reved higher its fine. I bought a new throddle body position sensor but havent gotten it in yet i know its running rich and flooding out even in the morning sometimes it takes like 2 minutes of craking before it will start could it be the ecu or someting internal with the motor let me know what you think it would be a great help

The ECU will have a sequence of characters that looks like this, "-Pxx-" The "xx" is what you need to tell us.

Also how do you know you're running rich? Do you have blue smoke coming out of the tail pipe? What about checking your plugs for black soot?

ok i got my throddle body position sensor and put it on and fixed my problem but i noticed that it has adjustable screw slots so is that to richen and lean it out if i move it around i set it in the middle and its working good not perfect still a tiny stutter at low low rpms so if you could tell me what that would do it would be great.

damn ur running an integra ecu for the b18 get one out of an 88-89 manual integra, they use the almost same motor as a zc (just different mount locations). it's a pg7 ecu
