Your ECU runs off of a speed-density management strategy, which means it calculates air and fuel based on engine speed and air density. To calculate air density, you either need a MAF sensor or a MAP and intake air temp sensor (and Honda ECUs don't use a MAF obviously).
If you don't have an intake air temp sensor, all you'd be measuring is air pressure, and that doesn't tell you anything about the air density because the density is temperature dependent at any given pressure.
I could have just said no, but I wanted you to know why the answer is no.![Big Grin](images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
That plug has to be there somewhere, and if someone has removed it then you need to add it back.
