check ur tps, if im correct, you have to switch the outside wires, and also check ur firing order. ur wirs could be off by one and it would cause ur car to run like crap.

Not sure but i know you need to wire up the EGR valve and thats about it...Its mainly fuel inector wiring but if you done already then it should be pretty much plug and play...You also need the B-series mounts,a rear mount bracket, and B-series shift linkage...I have a set of mounts to puts a B-series in your car i will sell for about $150 if you pay to ship them...You can get the rear mount bracket from an Acura dealer, Its called an L bracket i believe and it will run about $60...Other than that just an ecu...
