I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

It's an Si, but this motor wasn't turbo'd, was blown up from what I was told. This was out of another stock Si with less miles (again, supposedly). Given the compression and such I believe it's probably true.

Regardless, stock motor, only "change" is that there's cam gears. Thing was fine for over a year, I believe "when it all went wrong" was when I wired up an A/F gauge. That's why I'm still thinking that it might have just fried the ECU somehow, but I can't get a spare one to test that theory.
are you throwing a CEL?
Yes, that woudl be the problem. Idling while warm it throws a CEL "idle control system" P0505
