JDM H22a boggin issue, please help
Hi. I recently swapped a JDM H22A into my 93 PRelude and I've been having issues. Most are fixed, but one major issue is how the car runs. Note I haven't made a attemp to drive the car yet b/c I am still waiting on the auto shop to send me the right axles. When I start the car it boggs. By that I mean it's running like straight ass. It idles at about 2k and when i step on the gas the rpm's drop. I set the fuel at about 34psi and 38psi w/o/t which is about where it was in my last H22 swap (USDM). I went to set the timing and I couldn't see the marking near the flywheel area. I fully advance timing and retarted it and I still couldn't see it. I am wondering if maybe it's not TDC? Could that be why I see no mark or it bogs. Also I am using a USDM P28 virgin Ecu. Since the Ecu is not chiped would it be giving me this problem? One other thing. I had this motor sitting in my garage for about 3 months before I went to swap it in. After I did the swap I flushed n filled the oil with my normal 4 Royal Purples and 1 Lucas sabilizer. Then I went to swap out the plugs and wires with NGk plugs and wires. Upon doing so I noticed that the #1 cyclinder had some water in it. Now immediatly I thought maybe there was a little that got in there when the place out in Cali pressure washed it. But then wouldn't the water have been evaportated since it was sitting for 3months? I never let the car run over 10mins since I've been having this issue. I only ran the motor 3 times. I am throwing one code. The code appears to be a 20 or 22. I'm thinking it's a 20 b/c before when i threw a code you could see the quick blink. Now it looks vert faint, which leads me to believe it might be a 20 which i have no ideal exactly what it could be then. Any insight on this issue would be greatly appreciative. I didn't have any issues with my last swap, but maybe that's b/c it was a USDM H22 swap?
PLease help
THANK YOU
