Thanks lol. So yeah, it was just the bad solder joints, i guess the when the chips heated up and expanded the connections broke, and caused my numerous problems lol.

I popped in the fixed ecu, connected the battery. Started it, it high idles perfectly at 2K, started warming up, and it slowly idles down to around 850.

took it out for a spin, not really boosting, only 1 or 2 psi, put i can already notice the difference, expecially from my old engine that was running on 3.5 cylenders.

Monday or tuesday i will have the exhaust welded up. so then atleast i can drive to work for a day or two berfore i go to school.

Well the code 21 is fixed, it turned out that there were 2 rubber gaskets on the harness connector to the vtec solinoid, the old one had stayed with the harness and the one on the new engine was alredy in the connector, so i just had to take one out and snap the connector in.

I am working on makeing the dump tube, and i am bringing it to the exhaust shop tonight to have the exhaust patched up.

Well another lil update, i have been tuning it in my spare time that last few weeks, all is going ok so far, i had a few hickups with geting the com settings right for the dataloger and the romulator, but its good now.

I did have one question for those of you that have tuned with crome before, what do i need to set the gear tables to? I found the theoratical max speed per gear, reving out to redline using this site, http://autocrossing.com/cgi-bin/gearcalc.cgi and then input the valuses into the gear table, but i am not sure what goes where, do i use the speeds from 1-4 or 2-5? and should i be calulating using the redline or should i go lower? right now it gets first and secong gear right but when i shift to third it says i shifted to fourth, and when i shift to fourth it says i shifted to fifth
