93 hatch ISSUES!!!

ok so for starters.....im fairly new to the honda world. I was raised on domestics......spent a few years in a WRX and now i have officially purchased my first honda. i guess this is a Im new to the forum and need some damn help thread. anyhow so i bought a 93 civic hatch. havent even got the title yet so im not sure if its an SI or not. im pretty knowlegable with motors and have swapped a b18c1 into a 93 coupe before. anyhow i bought this hatch and it has a d16z6 swapped in......i assume due to the vtec solenoid being "custom" wired. i paid 700 bucks for the car so i was expecting to put in some blood and sweat. my story/cliff notes follow

1. (day of purchase)- test drove the car and the previous owner replaced the dizzy and when i drove it is was farting and banging spudder and studdering. get it home and the plug wires were all kinds of backwards.
2. Fixed the above issue and alls well. car has power and runs great
3. Car idles at about 2.5k until warm and then once warm jumps from 1k-2.5k
4. SRS light is on and horn does not work
5. Im sure timing is off as dizzy is turned all the way to the left.
6. Car has an obd1 p28 ecu. will this work ok with a d16z6?
7. Do I have to remove the timing chain lower cover to time the car????
8. Can anyone give me some assistance to help solve the above problems.
9. Im in Arlington, TX so anyone who is local and would like to exchange some advice for Bud Light.....pm me.....im all in.

All in all i know i got a hell of a deal but this is going to be a daily driver/project. any help would be much appreciated,

Re: 93 hatch ISSUES!!!

#3 if the idle is not stable it might be the idle air sensor

#5 ignition timing might be off - get a timing gun and time it.

#7 yes you have to remove the lower timing belt cover to get to the tensioner to loosen it.

#9 would love to help but im in chicago
