Default ecu throwing 3 codes plz help

hello guyz. here's my situation. i have a 2000 d16y8 in my 93 eg hatch with p72 ecu. the ecu is throwing code 21, 23, 43. its a stock motor with stock fuel pump stock everything. vtec is hooked up to the vafc. do u have to rewire the vafc?

and i have stock throttle cable with p08 throttle bracket and the damn thing stays revved up at 2k at idle pisses me off. and when i gas it to go it kinda wants to die. i'd have to gas it more for that to go away.

anyone know how to get rid of knock code? do i have to get the y8 throttle cable and t/c bracket? let me know thanks guyz.

did u hook up the v-afc to the ecu? otherwise your v-afc just isnt hooked up right. also, you might need to use sheilded wire for the knock sensor

first off you have the wrong ecu for your motor.. fix that and see if the CEL goes away..

Your using a 1.8l ECU with a 1.6l motor....obvious problem.

At least grab a P28 and go from there.
