ok so i swapped everything in. i had a d16y7 in my 97 hatch. i swapped to an 2000 d16y8.

well in doing so i had problems with it starting. so i noticed the thermostat housing ground wasnt attached. so i did that and the car starts.


well the problem now is that the car idles high and the CEL stays on.

now i didnt wire the knock sensor or the vtec, but i doubt thats the problem here.


i can give its hardly any pressure on the gas pedal and itll climb, but wont go pass about 2000 rpms. if i give it more than a slight touch it dies.

what could this be from?

also i dont know what hoses hook into the intake manifold. there are 2 nipples on the intake manifold, one goes to the pcv valve, and below that there is another...where do i connect to/from?
