What year Accord? What ECU?

You should not be mixing and matching harnesses anyway. The best route is always to use your factory engine harness and make the slight modifications required to make it work.

Ah, right. I was thinking you were referring to a USDM vehicle.

I see the stock H23A ecu as one potential issue. The H23A is 15% larger in displacement than the F20B and requires roughly that much more fuel as well. So you're probably running very rich with the H23A ecu.

Do you have any check engine lights?

First step would be to get the F20B ecu since you're gonna need it anyway.

Scan the codes and report back with what you find. Maybe then I can help you further.

Aldone an there are no codes but gearbox has lost connection. It's a h23a gearbox mated to the f20b engine now it just doesn't drive just revs an doesn't move ...
