Yeah B20 is the motor that comes in a CRV.. B20B with no numbers after the B means its a JDM CRV motor.. that came in i think 4 or 5 other cars overseas.

If i left the little blue plug that you jump when adjusting the timing out of the green socket with a paper clip in it overnight.. you think that would cause any damage to the ECU???

adjust timing by jumping a plug?
are you talking about the plug you jump to check the CEL's?

I checked my spark plugs and they're black which is usually an indication of dry or wet fouling.. (feel free to correct me) and i just replaced the spark plugs before i fixed the bent butterfly with Iridiums gapped at 0.44

Yeah i guess.. the one by the ECU.. i read that ur supposed to jump it with a paperclip to stop the ECU from disrupting the timing while you're adjusting it.

I have no idea.. i wrecked monday night and the car ran fine before that.. then after the wreck ran like shit.. and i went through some trial and error fixing the problem and the bent butterfly seemed to be the main cause.. how it got bent? is beyond me.. never seen that happen EVER.. and its a P75 ECU.. which i thought was OBD1

I think i either jumped a tooth or two on timing, Something broke in the Dizzy, or the ECU got damaged... or all of the above. Also heard something could be broken in the TPS..

Was this a front end collision? I dont think I have heard of anyone jumping timing from an accident unless the car was totaled, then you have more than timing to worry about. I can see maybe the TPS or maybe (MAYBE) damage to the ECU. But the TPS seems too me like it would cause it to not start/ rough idle and spotty acceleration. (correct? if not I will stop talking now)
