Hey guys long story short I have hondata on a mostly stock H22A4 in a 2000 Honda prelude that I just swaped in. So lets say this is the first time using hondata (its not but I dont want to write a two page story explaning)... Car has 440cc injectors that I put on in the settings in hondata. Im getting code 8 I tryed 3 diffrent distributor's but still getting the same code, My timing is right on too. If I drive the car its has a little power when I press throttle but If I press over 30% throttle car feels like its choking and only go's up too 5-5500 rpm. And runs VERY rich (with throttle pressed alot). I have a few OBD1 H22 distributors laying around if that means anything. Thank if you can Help :)

Try the ECU in a known good car so you can see if the ecu works properly. You may have a wiring issue in the car or if you are using an adapter harness you may have a problem with it.

Ok I will try this later on today or tomarrow morning, Ill keep you updated.
Note: sometimes the code go's on right after I start the car sometimes it go's on after 10-15 sec's after car is started if that makes a difrance.
