Well i decided to take a really in depth look at my teg today and figure out what all i had going on and see what id have to seek advice on fixing.

First....i found im running a p75 ecu on my b20 VTEC....so no wonder my vtec isnt engaging.

Second....my i hear tapping n the head. i had Sharpie and couple other guys take a look n listen and everyone says i need to get my valve lash adjusted.

Third.....my cruise doesnt work...but the fuse isnt blown so im guessing the harness is hacked up somewhere.

Fourth.....im running a gsr head, with a gsr intake(iabs)....with the p75 ls ecu.....but im not throwing a check engine light....so im guessing the light has been pulled unless that wont throw a code(correct me if im incorrect)

Fifth....my reverse lights dont work...neither of them, but the fuse is fine. havent checked bulbs but i figure what r the odds of them both being burnt out?

...as it sits, i miss my lude...but i never been one to cry over mistakes i've made so any help to fix these issues will b helpful cuz again...im new to the civic/integra chassis.

turn your ignition to "on" and see if your check engine light illuminates for 3 seconds, that will tell you if its been pulled out

I would swap the entire harness, that will save you headaches in the furture.

Change all fuses even if the appear to be good. Did that in the 240sx I had and all types of shit started working that had "good" fuses already in use

Use a test light and make sure both sides have power on the fuse. No since in changing all of them.

most of your issues seem related to the swap

- check and make sure the reverse wires at the tranny are hooked up (prob why your lights dont work)

- does the sruise power up (green light) if it does but dosnt work it may be the brake wire or the clutch switch for the cruise is bad ...easy fixes

- if your running a ls ecu with a ls harness then you wont throw any codes, mainly because the ecu dosnt know that there is a vtec head on the motor... but when you put in a vtec ecu on the ls harness you will throw codes... you need a p72 or p28 chipped for a gsr then pin the ecu for vtec and run wires to the vtec solenoid after that then your ecu should work fine... Or just buy a vtec controller lol

these are all simple issues common with a swapped car

I asked you this before in your other thread. Im pretty sure it was an old car of mine. Double check. Is/Was this car an Auto originally?? If its my/my friends old one like im 99% sure the Reverse lights arent wired up after the auto-manual swap.
