Engine running funny
Car I Have
90 civic sedan w/a b18a swap obd0.
Problem that I Have.
The car is not running right. When i drive my car it stalls. Let me explain exactly what happens. When i tap the pedal a little more than when normaly accellerating my car stalls. If i push gas pedal all the way down (WOT), the rpm gauge drops from where ever it's at down to zero. I don't know if it's not gettting enough gas or too much gas.
Other Symptoms
code 15-replaced distributor and went away (timing done)
code 43- replaced fuel filter (still not going away) I think it might be time to get a new fuel pump but this is my beater car. (need to save money-jobless)
What i Have done
I know i'm repeating myself but i want to be thorough
Replace Fuel filter
Replace distributor
Timing
spark plugs
spark plug wires
These are the possibilities i think could be the culprit
Fuel Injectors (when the engine was in original car it was running fine)
Resistor Box(" ")
Fuel Pump
All help is appreciated. Thank you

No i Haven't. Went to Sears and they had a fuel pressure gauge that worked for domestics, so i wasn't too sure it was going to work for the honda. Where can i get a fuel pressure gauge?
Another thing, is I replaced spark plugs with bosch's platinums 3 or 4's don't remember which one. Would that make a difference?

TPS that came w/engine was broken and replaced. Code 43 -fuel supply system. engine came from a 91 acura integra. ecu fits in 90 sedan. So i would assume its safe to say that it is obd0. But yep, ecu flashes 4 times (long) than 3 times (short). ????? I did the wiring myself. hmm.. thinking about old engine that was in there, it ran rough too. When i drove it it felt like it was running on 2 cylinders.
