OKay, so I bought an new hatch and yes I blew another SOHC non-Vtec motor (will post pics later). I decided to go with something a little better that was in my price range at this time, 96' B20 Yay! So the motor install finished today. I had to use a GSR header for lack of anything better. Right now the car is running open header. It boggs a little on low end but pulls good under full throttle (I was told it just need back pressure to fix the low end pull) The problem i'm having is at constant RPM the car sputters, no matter what RPM i'm at, but if i hit the clutch and rev the RPMs go up no problem. It also idles at 6-700 rpm, and sometimes dies after i pull off the freeway. It finally threw a code 17 which is the VSS (spedo's not working either) but I don't think that would have any effect on the cars idle. I do not have the O2 sensor pluged in , but it hasnt thrown a code for that yet. Any thoughts would help?


Cliff notes:
96' B20b in 97 DX hatch
Sputters at constant RPM only under load (like freeway or street driving)
Doesnt sputter when revving or under full throttle
Throwing code 17 - VSS (VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) defective circuit or unplugged / defective sensor)

Heres what i'm using:
96' B20
OBD2 to OBD1 jumper harness
P75 ECU
97 GSR header (no O2 sensor) (running open header untill tomorrow)
Stock DX radiator

Any ideas would help!
