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..

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 ??

why are you messing with the in car harness???

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.
