Re: b18c1 swap question

What year is the swap? What harness and ecu are you using?

update///// i traced the wires on the gsr side and when it gets to the DX main harness there are little plugs in the plug junction so i took out the stock dx map sensor all togeather and pluged that harness into the gsr map sensor and it runs better just reves up and down constantly and i can hear poping coming for the exhaust But its not running as rich as it was, still looking for more ideas ..

Re: b18c1 swap question

more updates... i took out the one map from the dx and pluged the harness into the gsr map and found a vacume line off under the intake, i hooked it all up checked the timing pulled the spark plugs and they were fouled. cleaned up the plugs put it all back togeather and it purs like a kitten...only problem is when you start to go over 3000 rpm it still dumps tons of fuel and you can hear the injectors just a clicking away its fairly loud.. any ideas why its still dumping fuel past idle?
