H22 Swap Question

[cis8vgti]

Yeah, I did the ghetto auto tensioner set up. Total cost was $1.25, a nut a carraige bolt from Home Depot.

When the chip seller ask for shift point, I am assuming the RPM the light will flash for driver to shift. Back in the day, my VW GTI had a shift light that kicked on early in the rpm for fuel efficient reasons. I will set the shift light at 7200. I doubt anyone driving this car is aiming for 30mpg.

The shift light as set in a custom ECU tune is usually for performance shifting purposes anyway... not that you're going to be looking at your dash waiting for your dim CEL to pop on when you're revving that high anyway! It's a pointless, yet harmless, feature.

I just wanted to give you guys a quick update.

I do need the separate parts for ECU in order to wire up VTEC. Depending on how my diagnosis goes over the next month or so, I may or may not order those parts.

I did install the ECU parts I received from Phearable. Nothing too tricky here. However my car still only starts on starting fluid. It is starting to run rough now.

I will recheck the timing and purchase/rent a noid light to see if the injectors are firing.

Pull your spark plugs and see what they look like. If they are wet with fuel you know it's not a fuel issue and more than likely an ignition/spark, timing or compression issue. If they are bone dry, it's probably a fuel issue.
