i just finished my gsr swap today into my ex coupe. it was my first swap and i did things a lil "amateur"y. driving home i got a check engine light (imma get it diagnosed tommorrow but right now i wanna hear what u guys think) it comes on when i hit vtec or any time i open the throttle hard.

a couple things i did during the swap that might cause it?:
i took the o2 sensor off the cat to remove the engine,
my wiring harness is half 95 civic ex and half 95 gsr,
i didnt have a big enough clamp for my intake so its kinda loose at the t body,
i lost a lil rubber thing for my intake that plugged a hole so theres basically a hole in my intake,
the oil pressure sending unit broke so i used the one on the civic engine.

this was my first swap and i expected something like this to happen, any help would be great. thanks

 

anyone?

 

you need to check the code that its throwing...

there is a blue plug under your dashboard on your passenger side...once you find it...turn your car to the "on" position...then open up a paper clip and stick the paper clip ends in the ends of the plug (completing the circuit)...then the check engine light will blink...

long blink = 10
short blink = 1

IE... long long long long short = 41...get it?

then check the code(codes) against this chart: http://www.crxworld.de/ecucodes.html

PS: remember...your car can throw more than one code at once...so pay attention to the blinks

 

under the carpet? by the ecu?

 

its actually under your dashboard...go directly above the ecu and it should be under the glovebox up in the dashboard
