Anyone done a LS swap in a 96-00 civic DX?
If so what ecu did you run? The obd2 LS ecu won't work and i'm stuck, the car is currently running on the single cam ecu and idling between 1300rpm-2000rpms. I tried an obd1 LS ecu but still no luck.

i am running an obd2 ecu in mine, are you using an obd1 motor? If you are thats why because its going to be looking for some sensors that are not present. I would go with a jumper harness and an obd1 ls ecu either way if you can get those.

your car is obd2. your motor is obd1. You need an obd1 ecu wich you have and a jumper harness to convert your obd2 car to accept the obd1 ecu. You can buy these off ebay.

Sorry for the confusion. My car is obd2, the motor is obd2 it came out of an 01 integra. Something about newer cars have a chip in the key which only that ecu can identifiy.
