Re: i got situation
OK, you need an ECM/PCM for the D15. Go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_D_engine and find the year and model that engine came in, then find an ECM/PCM for that engine. Remember, auto or manual tranny does make a difference.
For future reference: You can get those engines just about everywhere for $500-600 shipped. The ECM/PCM usually runs $50-100 shipped.
Nationwide salvage listings: http://www.car-part.com/
Cheapest parts around: http://www.picknpull.com/check_inventory.aspx
Also, check eBay and all of craiglist within driving distance or here: http://www.allofcraigs.com/ for a nationwide CL search engine.
BTW: Why did it take you almost 2 years to post your first post? Just wondering.
