Was the car converted to OBD0? Does it have the correct computer? The injector resistor box?

well what we found out that the engine is from a 88-91 civic and the intake is from a 95 civic and the computer is from a 93 so dis shit is messed up but we found out that there was some rust in the gas tank and dat was the reason why is was missfiring. so its still acting funny do you guys think if we change the computer to a 95 itll run fine....???? thanks for the help....

No, you need a computer from a 88-91 Si or wagon 4WD. You will also need the original injectors and injector resistor box. The D16A6 injector setup is not compatible with 92+ ECU's. Also the distributor sensors are incompatible.

Basically you would need to convert to OBD0. I suggest you sell the motor to someone who has a 88-91 Civic.
