Longest swap project in the world :(
Hey guys.. heres the update.. I tore the entire internal & external harness's out of a junkyard car last saturday.. it took most of the day coz i pulled everything properly.. no choped wires. I've got it all put in my car other than a few misc plugs that i havent figured out where they go yet!! i don't have power to the key for some reason .. i'll be lookin into that probly tonight or tomarrow.. i took a day away from my car yesterday coz i needed a break! but anyways.. it looks a lot better with the correct harness in there.. i'll have to toss up some pix here soon.. Ohh & B16aEGcivic.. I'd love to have u'r help here in the next week or two if you can manage commin down! i'll talk to you later about it. Thanks for the help everyone!
Last night i have regained use of
Head Lights
Tail lights
Dome Light
Power Door Locks
Turn Signals
Honda beep when door is open
ect.
I believe my baby is comming back to life.. i've still got a bunch of grounds to connect & what not but i think i've just regained my motivation to work in her again!

Hey guys.. i spent alot of time with my car over the weekend & realized a couple things.. first off ..
FACTS:
I'm running a DX internal harness
dont have the right computer yet so i'm using a SOHC obd1 computer for testing
i don't have the right distributor yet so i'm using the SOHC ob1 distributor for testing
Ok.. i realized that one or two of my plugs that go from the Car Harness to the Engine Harness mixmatched colors & didn't use all the same pins.. then i though & realized that .. duh.. they didn't come out of the same car.. basicly i wasn't using the DX engine harness.. so i went to a buddies house & pulled his DX engine harness so that i could test it out on my car .. In hope to get spark!
I put the DX engine harness on & cranked & got nothing.. then looked it all over & realized that i had everything pluged in but a ground that was near the tranny.. so i grounded that & cranked again.. Spark plug sparked twice & then wouldn't spark any more?????? WTF.. i about craped my pants when i saw the spark.. there were 3 of us there & we all saw it.. but it refused to spark again.. i have no clue why other than one reason & that would be that my car literaly hates be because i basterdized it! lol any help ??

the only thing you needed to touch was the engine harness....I dont understand why you would have ever touched anything interior.....
maybe I missed something.

yea.. when i realized that the dude really didn't have any clue what he was doing.. i took it upon my self to learn as much as i could & do it my self. I'm really close at this point & need a lil push over the edge to get her going again.. i've got just bout everything back to teh way that it should be.
