Default LX ECU Problems

Heres my situation, I have a 97 EX, i swapped a LX motor into it till i get my EX motor built. Now i have a LX ECU but only have a EX wiring harness, so when i plug the LX ecu up to it, it wont hold a idle. Ive figured out its the IACV, the ex harness has a 2 wire plug and the LX has a 3 wire, so how can i easy fix this by the way i have the LX TB on hand

I would say Add the 1 orange wire, for the Y7 IACV, and then use the Y7 throttle body, and not use ur Y8 IACV.

Yea u add it to the plug of the harness, look for a pinout of the OBD2a, and then go from there, then u need to add the plug so u can use the y7 throttle body.

I hooked everything up ran the orange wire to the IACV pinout and hooked the other black wire to the ICAV neg pinout the idle this bounce between 1500 and 2000 and it just bob's there, what did i do wrong, theres three wires coming off the plug but only 2 to the ECU. and i swaped the throttlebodys and everything over
