Default Vaccum leak problem?

I have just put a n/a built engine (b16a2) into my eg6 civic after having a turboed build in it.

I have started it and it runs however the idle seems to be 'hunting' a bit.

The engine management light stays on i havent read the code yet tbh but
im sure its a vaccun leak problem as i cant remember were all the vaccum leads go to and some are missing.

Can someone show me were they are meant to go with a few pics or illustrations?

Thanks, checked all the vacuum hoses today and all are in the right places as far as i can see.

I checked the cel codes and the following came up....

7 - TPS
14 - Idle control
41 - Oxygen sensor heater circuit

i unplugged these when the engine was running to see which one would make a differance if any.

I have unplugged the ecu fuse to reset the ecu, so i can see what the 'real' fault is.
How long do i have to leave it to 'forget'?

thats makes sense actually, as thats the only thing i didnt unplug to test.

I also tryed resetting the ecu, and all 3x faults still come up (7,14,41)

Thanks again, ste

i have a tubo b18c in my eg hatch before i bought it. and it was taken out of a 99 ek so when they switch it in to the hatch the had to convert it from a one wire to a 4 wire and they were on a little herb if u wat i mean. and the half assed and the three sensors act up so i get code 7 every two weeks or so. so iam right there with u. my next step is ordering a custom full engine and ecu harness from rywire.com and chase bays take a look bud.

Just cleaned the idle control valve, and it made no differance,

But when i unplug the idle control valve the engine cuts out, however if i unplug the o2 sensor it makes no differance to the way it runs.

Is a D16z6 and B16a2 o2 sensor the same?
