Missing? You mean misfiring?

S2KPDQ

If the engine has been taken to bits, this problem could be that the Check Valve and Air controlled Solenoid Valve have been re-connected incorrectly/the wrong way round.

Failure to connect thes pipes/valves correctly results in the CEL warning light on the dash and shitty VTEC performance.

Worth checking

Not quite true AE, they do disappear if the ECU decides the problem has gone - just takes a long time, ie 100 miles in my case!

(forgot to plug o2 sensor back in )

Engines go pop for a reason. Ask yourself what are the common features of the old engine and the rebuilt one. Could it be that it still has the old oil pump that never went for the recall?

That would be where I would start, with the limited info available. Good luck.

Yep, like I said it would be criminal to spend all that on a rebuild when its a couple of undred quid part that broke it!
