Question B18B into a EF Question

Ok before I ask my question I would like to tell you a little about my car. Its a 90 civic std (model below the dx) w/ a 95 B18B1 motor. I have a 90 ls tranny (really dosent have anything to do with this but o well) and a 90 ls computer.

The swap is complete and runs fine (idle's a little high but thats a diff. story), but after about 4-5 miles the check engine light comes on. I took the ecu cover out and checked the peoblem. The light blinked 7 times (tps). I have already swapped out the throttle body, and it still comes on. After a little research I found the wires connectiing to the tps were mixed up. I fixed that and still the light comes on. Has any one else had this problem??? My dad seems to think it could be the injectors. Granted my dad is a old school muscle car guy he has been right about alot of stuff on my car. Should I use the 90 injectors instead of the 95 injectors??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Chad

sounds like when You swap a eclipse throttle body on a mirage. The tps sensor is getting more voltage than your old t-body so it is throwing your ecu off a little bit. to fix this problem on mirages all we do is swap out the tps it self to stock on the swapped out t-body. not sure thats your problem though.

yes you have to use the 1990 injectors. the 95's are obd1 (99%) and the 1990's are obd0 (100%). im not sure about this causing a TPS code but i know that you have to use those injectors if everything else is obd0

im saying that is causing your ecu to read improper resistance from your injectors. you need obd 0 injectors, ecu, dist.
