i just swapped a b18 into my 94 coupe and i thought the problems i was having with the fact that i had to give it alot of gas when i pull out to keep it from dien and that it wasnt responsive and didnt run right and acted like it wanted to cut out at 6000 rpm was the factory p28 so i swapped it over to a p75 and i still have this issue could it be related to the fact that i havent made my way to the muffler shop yet and that im not runnin a 02 sensor ?

Is it just throwing the o2 code? Or are there other codes? Once something trips the CEL like the o2, vss, etc. shit can start to run weird.





Btw, noticed your location, we just spent the weekend in Asheville and my glass blower buddy Bruce lives up on a mountain in Burnsville. :Lol: Love it down there!!!

If my thermostat isnt grounded properly will it possibly cause issues

Yeah there are important sensors on that ground. I forgot to ground that once and my car wouldn't even run.

also if there is any other wiring problems that someone thinks might lead to poor running let me know cause i was skeptical of my wiring a little bit

IAC (EACV) - idle air control valve is the code i got when i checked it and thats the only code i got i know for a fact i do not have my 02 in my exhaust why does it not detect that

primary oxygen sensor heater is the o2 sensor, and if your iacv is bad or clogged it will run like dog poop...hope that helps
