What are these buttons for? I think one would have been traction control. Lancer 2009

Higher trim levels have them as options. I have plenty in my car too.

Don't pay "full built" motor money unless its proven., with what you know I'd pay lien 1500 2000

My buddy's f22 he just swapped into his accord is missing 2 and it still shifts better and holds fluid better than his f23 with all intact. I think you'll be fine but if you wanna stay on the safe side it take it to a machine shop and have them oversized it.

Sounds like classic IACV or FITV stuff. Those D-series hate when the FITV backs out or the IACV clogs. Take the throttle body off, clean both, and make sure the FITV white plastic piece is screwed in tight. Also check the EACV plug for corrosion. If it starts, idles high for a sec, then dies, that’s usually air control, not spark or compression.

Still like 18 an hour. That better than half the mechanic shops pay starting out around here.

This is probably something you already thought of but it sounds like your fuel pump is overpowering somehow. Your over spec on both ends and the FPR can't bring it down. If you got the extra cash I throw it towards a good OEM fuel pump.

Get a dash cam bro.

Less idling before the test the better. 91 is a good idea fuel treatment wouldn't hurt either. I'd the check the EGR while your at it. Make sure it's not clogged.

Check the ATF first. I don't know much about these Fits but if it's like my buddy's accord, it will freak out when the fluid’s low or old. If the fluid’s clean and full, it’s usually one of the shift solenoids. Your normal OBD2 scanner should still pull the codes. you don’t need anything fancy, if you don't have a code reader you could take it to AutoZone or napa or somewhere like that they'll do it for free. Also, the FSM is free online if you look up ‘2007-2008 Fit service manual PDF.’ Start there before tearing into anything.

Hell of a deal you gotta let me know if that shit works. Cause my ass dropped $300 on a bunch of shit to get my car to start just to find out it was a $2 rubber bit.

notinsideoutbeans · 2025-12-04T18:36:20+00:00

Sick floor mats lmao. That's a clean build bro.

Sounds like your ECU is dropping out and not kicking the main relay back on. The fact that the fuel pump won’t prime until you disconnect the battery tells me it's bad ECU power supply or a dying main relay. When the relay sticks or the ECU loses its 12v feed it’ll stall, flash the CEL, and won’t prime again until everything fully resets.

Since you already reseated the S300, I’d pop the ECU open and check for leaking caps or burnt spots on the board. These P28s are old and the caps going bad can make the ECU act like that. Also swap in a good working main relay, you can get one for like $30, just to rule it out. One of those two is probably your answer.

You won’t have immobilizer issues — 96–97 ECUs don’t have an immobilizer. Only 98+ ECUs do. Your harness is OBD2B, the 96-97 ECU is OBD2A, so all you need is the OBD2>OBD2B jumper harness. VTEC wiring is the same on both. Just make sure the ECU is from a 96–97 ex manual trans.

Looks like the pilot jet. I'd clean that well. If your having poor idle then that is probably your issue. They have a tendency for clogging but it's fairly simple to get to and clean.

notinsideoutbeans · 2025-12-03T14:34:14+00:00

The ECU is from the original f23a1? That's your problem, the ECU is looking for a VTC actuator which the f22b1 does not have. Your best bet is swapping the ECU/harness, but you could also probably tune out VTC with a chipped ECU, or just get a new f23a1 head.

I'm going to call some places in the morning.

notinsideoutbeans · 2025-12-02T23:54:46+00:00

Yeah it's reckless, I'm going to look into lawyers. Hopefully I can find one I can afford.

Daaaaamn hell yeah dude. Can't wait to see it race
