Default code 43

just got done finishing my swap b18a1, which runs a little pissed off with all the new internals, but it will work itself out. One thing that I didn't really want to change, but we had to was the fuel injectors- we HAD to swap in a set of prelude ones. Now, I know this is probably the reason for that code 43, but is there another thing that could be the problem?

depends on what year lude injectors. if they're the 345s then they're too large for your stock ECU to compensate for....

actually, does anybody know of a website that has the sizes of the injectors. I found out that those injectors that I have in the car right now could be 340.

a website, anybody please?

check the spark plugs immediately afterwards to see if they are wet. if so, you know the thing is running rich as fuck and thats probably from the injectors. generally, a really rough idle to where it makes the motor shake is from an assload of fuel...
