ok so here is my problem. I swaped a b16a into my 97 cx and i have conversion harness and i'm running a p28 Ecu. we finished all the wiring up today except the vtec. filled the motor full of fluids and connected everything. The motor started up and it sounds like it's running smooth..but here is the problem all it really wants to do it idle..and when i starts to warm up the shuts-off. So i'm getting spark and fuel, but i am using obd2 fuel injectors i was told that was i needed. What could be Wrong..the dizzy or the injectors and what we can seem to figure it out. we tried backing it out of the drive way but you have to hold the gas in alot or it will Die... Please any info would be Sweet i've been without a car for a month now and i really need it back

check your grounds. i.e. valve cover to driver side head light, tranny to body, and lastly on the water neck there is a 10mm bolt that has a ground on it check it.

if you're using a p28, the dizzy must be obd1, not sure about injectors
*edit* nevermind, conversion harness

are you using your original injectors? if so, you have to change them. i had the same problem.. the car is leaning out.

thats the problem right there. either get a set of b-series or some ex injectors . i had the same exact problem. 96-00 cx and dx injectors are 190cc no matter what you hear. you need the 240's.

ok... i will swap them out to, the motor came with some 0bd2 b16 injectors also but we switched them out when we put the dizzy cap from the d16y7 on because the motor would'nt fire with the other one..and i think we missed a ground from the valve cover to the headlight also, I hope this works
