D16Y8, Manual IACV but Auto transmission mounted with Auto ECU

Hi folks, I am finding out a lot about this Del Sol. At first, when I bought it, I was surprised there was a D16Y8 in there but couldn't get any information from the seller since they did not swap it in. Its had a plethora of issues and electrical hack jobs but overall it is a solid swap. Where I am stuck now is the RPMs bouncing.

I did all of the standard checks, smoke testing, tightening the FACV which helped an cleaned the IACV. I found that they actually had a block off plate installed between the intake and IACV to stop the revs from bouncing.

I'd like to avoid putting the plate back so my question is, is the manual style IACV paired withe the auto transmission and auto trans ECU causing this RPM surging?

ECU: 37820-P06-A50

IACV: Manual 2 pin version

D16A6 - no spark, no fuel. So far what's been changed: ECU, main relay, spark plugs/leads, distributor (on old distributor, I replaced the ignitor and coil). I have cleaned the earth points and I doubt the immobiliser is faulty/armed because it still cranks. Any help much appreciated 👍

Just cracked open this B000 S40 EX trans I already knew needed at least a rebuild that I got for free as part of a trade, and I was hoping to use the gear sets to combine with the A000 trans that came in my LX for some closer gears down low, but once I got inside and saw the state of these gears and the amount of metal funfetti spread around the case, I knew it was over 😭

Thoughts about Taiho main bearings?

It's kinda hard to get ACL or King's racing main bearing here in my location but we do have this brand available. Planning to put it in a street race car.

I need help!! Does anyone know why my 98 civic ex would be fine driving for a day then completely die on me the next? I just swapped a new y8 into it and the car was driving normally until the alternator died on me the other day, so I went and got a new alternator and battery and it drove fine until 10 minutes of me driving it barley tapping on my brakes it would shut everything off on the dash, then roughly another 10 minutes it just died on me again like it did the first time. If anyone knows this problem please help!!

I have a 96 DX Coupe (EJ6) I'm planning to replace the front suspension on. It's currently lowered on coilovers, those were done before the rest of the suspension as I had one of the rears blow out a few months back. Currently just on some budget FAPOs that were like $170 and they do fine for what they are/the price honestly.

As for my LCAs I was planning to purchase everything on RockAuto getting looking at the mevotech supreme they've got everything else including adjustable upper LCAs but for the lowers I've noticed everything is different lengths.

The lcas currently on the car I've measured to be right about 15inches long. The mevotech labeled for dx are listed as 21inches for Front left lower and 16inches for right lower. Then there is a set from moog which are 15.03inches left lower and 14.38inches right lower

I've also read that LCAs for a ex/hx/lx would be compatible which they have available from mevotech and those are 18.38inches for both sides

I've checked all the same parts on the mevotech and moog websites and the lengths are listed the same as on RockAuto. And the only information I can find about differences between the front lower lcas excluding the SIs being their own thing is the placement of sway bar mounting holes which the dx doesn't have. So I am confused as to what will or won't work/what's best for me and hoping someone knows the answer as I've not been able to find one in my searching.
