I know I think the swap went bad because they were trying to use the wrong plenum/manifold, or it was way different cuz it was the accord 2.3 and the vaccuum lines were wrong

another thing is the wiring. Honda went from OBDIIa to OBDIIb starting in 1998 with the new accord platform. So unless the mechanic really knew his shit, i would see why theres a problem
