ECU made my car overheat!!!
Hello all,
My name is Josh, and I just recently purchased a p28 ecu off of ebay. I had a d16z6 swapped in my 4dr DX in November and never got around to replacing the ecu. I finally did it, and put it in today. When I unplugged the p06 I had been running, and put the p28 in, my check engine light came on. I thought nothing of it, which I should have, but im stupid for that. After driving for about 20 minutes, pulling up to a friends house I noticed my heat gauge was all the way up! HELP!

Ok so i messed up in the post, here goes.
OK sorry for not knowing everything about my car. the code is as follows:
37820-P28-A02
760-321260 AWL
Here is the link to the auction on ebay if it matters...

From the little knoweldge that I do have of my car, I do know that I still need the vtec solenoid to have working vtec. If need more info to help my problem, please be more detailed for the deatails I must give to you. Attached is what I believe is the plug for the vtec solenoid. Thanks. Have a nice day.

Look in the online resources sticky to get the instructions to check the Check Engine Light (CEL) codes.
Looks like the VTEC solenoid isn't even connected. Look for a connector laying around somewhere and plug it in. Checking your codes for the CEL would give us the most understanding of the problem.

vtec is the problem
OK so i jumped the switch to see the cel code(s), and the code came out to be 21, which is the vtec spool solenoid valve. So what are my next steps?
