swapped harness now ---- not workin right
97 CX hatch w/ B18c1
-I believe Ecu is a Skunk chipped P 72
I swapped my engine harness w/ the one I got back from Rywire. Everything seems to be plugged back in. I put in a new O2 sensor and connected it as well.
I had to redo the injector clips , by using my old clips that plug to Black (thin top) of injectors.
The ---- starts, but when I give it gas it chokes and dies. Any suggestions, since the car ran before swapping harnesses? Help a noob out GURUs.

Re: swapped harness now ---- not workin right
I do have a CEL. I reset ECU multiple times, and as soon as i start car up it pops. I know this is a noob question, but would the car even start if injector wiring may have gotten connected wrong way? I am pretty sure that all the wiring for injectors are correct as I swapped them one at a time.

Re: swapped harness now ---- not workin right
thanks for replies guys. I connected the wires to the service connector and checked the CEL. It came up with a 1 ( Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Malfunction). I ended up swapping some connectors around around, and it got rid of the CEL. Im a noob and this is my first engine harness swap :1
So now when I start the car it would run, but its running rough. When I give it gas it kills it. I was wondering if i need to get my ECU rechipped since it did not have all of the sensors connected before i put in the Rywire harness. The ECU is a Spoon Chipped p28 ( disregard my noobness on earlier post of p 72 w/ Skunk).
I know nothing about chipping ECUs, but this is the chip thats inside. Is this a reburnable chip?

Spoon chip is what buddy said is in it. Spoon maps / bin whatever....
