I have a problem. Ha. that may be a understatement. I want to know can I use a 3 wire IACV with a OBD1 conversion. Do I absolutely need to switch to the 2 wire or is there a way to wire the 3 wire IACV in? I have tried a couple things with no luck.

P.S We are working on a 98 Civic DX it was auto trans now has a Manual swapped in. Turbo blah blah blah. You get the idea.
 
Nvrmnd I got it figured out so if anyone else stumbles across this and wants to know the answer here it is.

If you are swapping to OBD1 from OBD2 you have to use a 2 wire IACV. If you are using a Throttle Body with the IACV mounted on it build a block off and then get a Z6 or Y8 intake manifold and make sure it has a 2 wire IACV on the back of it or go get one to put on there. Then you are going to have to doing the wiring fix for it. Which can be found on this site. Any questions feel free to send em my way!
