I just wanted to see which D15B you had. The P75 is definitely the wrong ECU. VTEC will not function with that ECU.

D1-VBU Back Up Power Wht/Yel, Battery positive From battery through Fuse Box, Battery Voltage at ALL times

check the voltage on that to see if its constant.






yea you need a p28 that will prob solve your problem

off-topic:
Oh, and that long air duct in front of your engine... You can remove that if you want, it's part of the stock air intake, which you don't have.

A P75 does not have VTEC circuitry. I do not know why your car would suddenly stop running right. It is unlikely that the wrong ECU would cause it to suddenly stop running well but I suppose it could be possible. One thing is for certain though, and that is that the P75 is inhibiting your engine's power capabilities because it cannot engage VTEC. If you want VTEC to ever work, you will need a P28 anyway.

The place to start diagnosing this would certainly be to get this thing running on the right ECU first. Then we can go from there.

And yes, people usually chip an ECU to tune it. However, the person who put the P75 in obviously did not know what they were doing since a P75 does not pair with a JDM D15B, so I would not trust any tuning they had done.
