I recently picked up a 97 civic hatch that has the entire d16y8 motor in it, im having some issues with it and im pretty sure i know why. Issues are minor, slightly surging idle and engine like, code 45, running too rich.
1. Its running the stock p2e computer (cx computer)
2. Swap engine was from an automatic (car is 5 speed)
So ive picked up a p2p ecu and a 5 speed intake manifold and throttle body with the IACV on the back (2 wire).
Ive been reading on here and most of the swaps have been mini-me's so i have a couple questions.
1.Does my d16y8 have a knock sensor, and will i have to wire it in, if so how?
2.Obviously i have to run wires from the Ecu to the vtec solenoid, do i do this directly from the ecu? or from a harness in the engine bay, again how?
3. I foudn the diagram and write up on converting the 3 wire plug on my cx harness to the 2 wire on the Y8, seems pretty straight forward.
Thanks for your help
cheers.
