Does anyone know where all the ground wires on my Crx si are located at.?... I'm having trouble starting it up so want to check and make sure the grounds are all hooked up rite.

Check the main ones.....valve cover to chassy, tranny to chassy and there's one on your thermostat housing.

You have an A/M k20 EF8 and you don't know where your grounds are ?


Lol, just bustin' your chops bro. Is your battery in stock location ? or was it relocated ?

Haha Naw I have an all motor b20 Vtec lol the name was all my cuz's doin lmao....the battery is relocated but the reason im askin is cause im tryin to make sure i dont miss any grounds....just bought this shell and the old owner tried to do a wire tuck and chopped all the wireing up so now i got a short for my corner lights and no power to my fuel pump

Make sure the battery is grounded. And make sure the tranny is grounded.

Also, make sure there isn't a fuse between the positive battery terminal and the starter / fuse box. I accidentally did this when I relocated mine. And wondered why I kept blowing the 50a fuse. It's all all the time and doesn't use a fuse there.
Also make sure the ground locations are clean, and your battery terminals are clean.

Yea the positive wire.is ran direct with no fuse bit rite now i dont have a starter on there...all my main grounds are connected ..but now i think there might b a problem with my Ign. Switch because the fuel pump should turn on and flash any codes when I turn the key to the II position nd Dosnt but it does when I turn it to the III Position ...that don't seem rite lol

I've had those symtoms and for me it was the ignition switch because the II postion wouldn't make contact. It would start and die if the key is not held past II.

I'm gonna try switching the ignition switch then...I think I may have a problem with my dizzy because it makes a ticking noise when the key is turned to the II position and it shorts out because my rpm needle moves up and down and the lights flicker .
