zc motor problem in my crx

I seem to have a running problem with my zc motor in my crx. It feels like its not geting enough fuel even though it is. It starts fine, idles fine but when i go to put it in gear and go, it bogs out and i have no mechanical power. I checked the injector relay, fuel pump is working fine, but I can't seem to find the problem. Anyone know what this could be?

Ya it sounds like you need to adjust timing, ive seen that boggin problem on 2 cars and all they need was the timing set properly. Using a timing light and a jumper wire in the 2 wire diagnostic plug.

pm7 (ZC ecu) runs the motor much stronger than a Pm6..

Like night and day when we swapped it into my bro's crx..

pg7 ecu will do the same thing with no speed limiter like the pm7 ecu has.

Funny im having a simalar problems in my ef hatch with the ZC, but it only does it when the engine is warming up, after its warmed up its fine. I figured it was probably timing.

ecu

Pg7 ecu will pull alot more but your engine will run rich as hell. Then u might have to get performance ingectors, and change your o2 sensor. Im not sure if your car will pass emmissions though b/c it idles at 1200 to 1500 rpm's
