OBDI conversion made car run irregular????
Here is the problem. I have a 97 Accord LX with just minor bolt-on's. I-E.....Well I decided to switch to an OBDI setup. Well I bought the jumper and got a ECU from my friend and plugged it all in and the car barely ran. (By the way the ECU was out of an 94 Accord LX.) It wouldn't idol on its own and when I could get it to bring the RPM's up it was running irregular, poppin in the exhaust and what not. So I thought it could be that the ECU was making the car run rich plus the fact that the Air/fuel gauge was pegged out rich.(I know those are not accurate but it was another sign) So anyway I bought and V-afc also to try and correct the problem. (Got the v-afc intsead of afc because I am getting a H22 swap in less than a year.) Well I tried to mess with the fuel curve and idol and nothing got better so I went back to the stock ECU. Anybody know what is going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I was running an OBD1 on my engine and the only problem I ran into was that my headlights would dim under 3000 rpms. Some people have told me that you need to run an OBD1 distributor with the ecu, but I haven't bothered spending the time or money to test that yet... could be your problem though
No I do not think that is the problem. I need a different ECU. I tested my friends ECU which was from a 94 Integra ls and it worked fine at idol, just needed to be richened up a bit though.
