Default How to wire secondaries in Eg/GSR?

I tried all day to wire my secondaries up in my Eg/GSR.

The car would not start because the 15amp ECU fuse was blown. Still can't get the secondaries to work.

WHAT I TRIED SO FAR:

1) Black IAB wire to B1 at obd1 p72 ECU - blew the 15amp ECU fuse
2) Black wire to junction power harness - blew the same fuse again

93 Civic Cx
98 GSR motor (usdm)
OBD1 p72ECU

I am thinking there is another wire spliced in under the loom / electrical tape to this black wire which I believe is a ground? I spliced in close to the shock tower and maybe need to splice in where the wire comes out the IAB. I've already made 3 cuts in wires that turned out to do nothing right at this point. When I took my Cx harness out I took most of the loom / electrical tape and there were wires spliced in underneath it all. I'm thinking the same is done on this wire causing a short / blowing the ECU fuse.

Here's how I tapped in for 12v. Going to use the same connection, but move the splice down right where the IAB sensor is. This is a source for 12v, right?

Only one wires goes to the ecu (A17). For obd1 the other wire goes to a 12v source.

I don't know by looking at the picture But I do know you shouldn't ahve it going to a constant 12v source. As inright to the battery. You only want it to be on when you turn the key. Like the radio harness or something should work good.

The yellow/black wires that run to the harness on the drivers side that is capped off is a source for all the 12v under the hood. So, I'm told. I'll check the Helms to verify.

You just going to splice into the wire? I have to wire this up myself on Thursday when I get my ecu:thumbup:

For obd1 ecu and motor the pink wire goes to A17 ( you may have to run that custom from under the hood) and the other wire black/yellow (color?) goes to a switched 12v source. It may be different because your running an obd11 motor with an obd1 ecu, that may fawk everything, at least i know it does for a 99 b16 and a 94 (dohc) Sol Si ecu

It really doesn't matter which wire goes to what. It all comes from a solenoid. Therefore make no difference.
