i got me a 97 civic and a obd2 to obd1 conversion harness
and its trying to stall and kinda sluggish its a 92-95 jdm b16a
any suggestions please

 

What ecu are you running ?

What I am really trying to figure out is, are you running a 1.8L program on your STOCK 1.6L motor ?
Hence you are probably getting too much fuel

 

I tried a p72 1st, and then i just tryed the p28 for the hell of it to see if it was that.

 

tommorrow im going to be putting skunk 2 stage 1 cams in

 

Are both ecu's acting the same ?
It may not be your ecu.

A p72 ecu is a gsr ecu, I dont recommend running it on a motor without secondary butterflys b/c you will throw a code etc...

 

are the wires the same for the o2 sensor, cuz i have the air/fuel ratio gauge hooked up and its running lean. and the sending unit wire is white right

 

Throw your lightshow autometer guage into the garbage or sell it because it wont really tell you anything.

The big fat white wire in your engine harness under the pass side kick panel is the source for 02 readings.

I believe since your running an ecu that uses 1 02 sensor you have to tap directly into the 02 sensor area of your harness to get an accurate voltage output reading to your autometer guage.

Regardless autometer guages don't tell you anything that a voltmeter wouldnt tell you

 

i just wanna figure out y its being slugish for the first couple rpms and then it starts to run good, specialy when secondary vtec hits

 

You only have 1 vtec
No secondary vtec

Check your plugs, ignition timing etc..
Check your fuel supply via using a fuel pressure guage.
Maybe change out your fuel filter if its old, heck its only $8 from honda.

Remember it's a b16, it will be slugish off the line at low rpms, especially on the wrong ecu.

 

i know u have 1 vtec but u can here it then u can feel it but thats off the subject
