hey guys hello from scotland,have just swapped a jdm b16a into my civic lsi hatch my first honda swap lol,it isn't revving and seems to die when revved,have read other threads where the tps and map have been mixed up,i am thinking though that i have swapped the interior and ecu loom for a uk vti one which has the plug for the firewall map sensor,and used the jdm engine loom,now my lsi has the firewall mounted map sensor and the b16a has the throttle body mounted map sensor,my friend told me that i just link them both together,dont seem right to me though
so guys if this is wrong should i just lengthen the wires to the firewall plug and just use that onto the throttle map sensoras this is the one that will run to the ecu i would guess,help please as need car for work lol

Just unplug the firewall mounted map sensor and plug the harness into your throttle body map sensor.

yep done that,and i also had plugs on wrong way round tps + map lol,going ok now but car is hunting like it has an air leak,confused with a few of the pipes,where should the throttle body mounted map sensor pipe connect to,also the large pipe that is in the middle of mani on top,it went to a plastic bit thats fixed on mani but mine is broken
