Ok I could try another Ecu, a little hard to get 1 right now.

I also noticed that my fuel is running extremely rich, soaking the spark plugs.

I also have a si throttle body on the way, switching my o2 sensor (from stock ls 1, probably never changed), will be doing a fuel pressure and oil pressure test after the throttle body comes.

On another note, My rpm on my cluster is innop., Isn't the blue wire on the dizzy run to the rpm? (*swapped 0b1ls dizzy w/ obd2 type r dizzy).
Some notes on this would really help.

Thanks

uh... really ? it's true that a race program like the Mugen or Spoon would run a stock factory engine of the same series/displacement very rich, but this is anything but either. i won't go into the partial b.s. about the MIL routines. and "soaking the spark plugs" indicates something else like ignition or running DSM injectors on a program designed for stock inj... dark black sooty plugs would be indicative of an otherwise healthy engine running overly-rich.

but when i read that last post of his where he disregarded everybodies advice, i decided it's not worth our time... he needs to learn some basics... geez.

-again, O2 isn't used with Spoon program - swapping is wasted time/effort.
-LS TB is not a bottleneck nor is it incompatible - si tb is wasted time/effort
-VAFC or ECU program designed for a 2.0L will be needed - put some time/effort

but go ahead and ignore our advice and start swapping out parts trying solve your problem... then when you get frustrated with the whole setup, my offer to buy the non-working mess cheap still stands

Thanks for all the help and crap,

*I didn't ignore everything,

For one, I swapped Ecu's with a 95/Gsr, ran worse then before.

Second, I found out that the place that did my timing left the bolts loose which threw it off. (tach broken, couldnt tell, other then somewhat low idle). After adjusting the timing the fuel burned right up.

The oil/fuel pressure is fine

Also swapped Throttle body after I installed the Air/Fuel gauge, which helped a whole lot.
Car is running very well, Except for a few Vtec problems (which now is recieving more air), Engages much smoother.
The motor was only struggling for more air which it is now getting.

I've taken in most of your suggestions, some REALLY helped, Some were a waste of time, but appreciate your time for the help.


Thanks 13second Type R
