We bought my kid a 1997 Civic Hatch, we need help getting it to run right
The engine is 2000 JDM Type R block, GSR head, Toda A Spec cams, oversized valves, supertech valve springs, supertech retainers, CTR pistons, blox manifold, hytech tri y header, stock injectors, stock intake and stock exhaust. It is almost new.
It has a stock OBD2 Type R computer and the car is running super rich.
A guy explained that the car is running rich because the ECU is in Safe Mode because the check engine light/sensors.
The check engine light is on and we took it to a mechanic but none of his scanners could read anything from the data port.
We are using the original Civic Hatch engine harness and there are many plugs not hooked to anything because there are nowhere to plug them in the Type R/GSR Head motor. There is a sensor on the intake manifold that is not plugged in because has no matching plug on the harness.
We need to know what to do next. Some suggested buying a Type R engine harness but we don't know if that would even hook up to the car.
We bought a hondata S200 and an OBD1 computer with an adapter harness hoping to solve the problem but we haven't installed it yet. We had thought that a tuning shop could just go in and delete the sensors and make the thing run right. But the guy we got the ECU from says we need to fix the sensor problems first.
So we need help... serious help.
This has been going on for almost a year
What do I need to do next?
Thanks!
