    brakers do use white pentel marker pens to mark up stuff....as for it being the wrong one,if it was it wouldnt work...when matching up ecu's for customers its just 3 numbers we match up in out of the many numbers on the ecu.

    The ECU will be correct - if it was wrong, your engine management light would stay on.

    Very rare for there to be a fault with ecu or mechanicals in these engines, are you sure there's a problem?

    Make sure the oil is clean & of the correct grade for the VTEC to correctly function.

    Almost certainly it's the wrong ECU. The Esi Civic was an "economy" version rather than a performance car, so it's probably not telling the Vtec to lift the camshaft far enough, if at all.
