It's for these cars
1986-1989 Accord Aerodeck LXR-S/LX-S (Japan)
1986-1989 Accord EXL-S/EX-S (Japan)
1986-1989 Vigor MXL-S (Japan)
130 hp @ 6100 rpm,128tq @ 4700 rpm
Why would you use a unworthy B motor
Is it a 94-95 obd1 integra ls ecu or older
Does it run smooth all the way up and idle.

Old motor running through Obd-1 wires ecu no codes or they are but can't be read fixed lost signals

If you have a CEL on, and you can't find a code, either you're not looking in the right place, or your ECU is dead. Try replacing it w/ a known good ECU.

BTW, using a Auto ecu when you dont' have an auto will show a CEL b/c of the tranny not having the lockup solenoid and several other sensors in OBD-1 format.

As far as using serious gas, again, change your ECU to a known good one. It's probably running in closed loop mode, on a base map that isn't getting interaction from the sensors under the hood... therefore, it will burn gas like crap to make sure it's not leaning out... it's also called limp mode, because it's designed to let your car "limp home".
