ok, so i have a 97 honda civic , i just found out that the model is an hx, its a vtec-e. I am currently installing a skunk2 intake manifold and i ran into a few problems, but the main one is the idle air control valve. the stock one those not fit so i but the one for the ex and now the connections dont fit. Any suggestions?

 

Why doesn't the stock one fit? Before you buy an aftermarket part, always know what else will be needed. Give the company that makes the new intake a call to see what they suggest. That's what I'd do.

 

they are diffrent engines and use diffrent sensors, so i was reading that you can rewire the ecu and replace the 3 wire plug w/ a 2 wire plug or just replace the whole ecu.
