I put in my manual ecu and started it up today and it ran like crap. after about 10-15 min it got better but still had idel lope and it backfired. the idle is ok but it isnt running good. there are no check engine lights. all I have done as far as the distributer goes is change the cap and button. Is it supposed to run horrible when the ecu has been reset?

What motor ya got ? what ecu are you using ? -
f22b2 obd1
I hooked my stock ecu back up and nothing changed.
this car ran fine last week before I realigned the clutch. as far as I know everything was hooked up right. im pretty carfull to make sure i know what goes where and I doubel check everything. when i pull the plug wire for the 2nd closed cylinder to the distributor the engine runs no different. the same is true for the farthest cylinder from the distributor. the distributor cap was off while I was dropping the transmission with the engine hoist. I wonder if some dirt or crude could have goten in the distributor or if i could have dameged it. I also replaced the coolent temp sensor right below the distributor. Am I going to have to replace the distributor? all the wires look like they are in the right places.
on the good side i seem to have made my clutch chatter go away

indeed my friend played a little trick on me. I called him up telling him about it and he switched em. bastard. the reason i didnt try that in the first place is because i never took them off the old cap and it ran bad with the old cap on. the clutch is so much smoother! I can actualy use my reverse!
and of course as my luck would have it i pick up a screw in the tire the first 5 miles.
