I have a 94 dx coupe with a b16a2
ive got it completely wired up using a obd2 converted delsol harness
but im not getting any power anywhere
im thinking im missing grounds somewhere
what grounds are there that i could be missing or any other problems that could cause this
im stumped

hmmm that may be wrong
where exactly is it located?

lotus elise

b16? should be visable from you standing in front of the car hunched over the hood,

goes from the trans to the frame rail of the car

oh that ground lol
i forget wiring easy
yep conected although there is a second ground i noticed today but i dunno where it leads to

how about the valve cover ground to the rad support.

the most important one is from the harness to the thermostat.

yep i have the valve cover ground secure
where exactly is the termostat located

forcefedferio

follow the lower radiator hose from the radiator to the motor, where the lower radiator hose ends is the thermostat housing, you should see i think 3 ground wires attached to an eyelet if they aren't hooked up there is a threaded hole on top of the thermostat housing where they get bolted to.

i did this one on a 94 del sol that had the harness cut out when some JACK A** stole the ecu. we too the obd1 ecu harness out of a crunhed integra and i cut it from the cabin harness and put it in the del sol. you shouldn't have to cut more the three wires the ecu should have wires that run from strut tower connector to the ecu UNCUT and three you cut from the body harnness. One is the diagnostic wire (go's to ground to make CEL blink codes) one for the CEL so the ecu can tell you there is a problem. (it'a just a 12V out put from the ecu) and the 12V power in from the Key. (turns on the ecu). and thats it.

things to look for

1. none of the wires are cut at all (even when the soiderd that might not work right)

2. does the CEL come on when you turn the key. If No Does Any thing turn on???

3. is it a OBD1 To OBD2 Intercont or did you rewire it to the OBD2 plugs (ie Pin swapping Not Cut and Crimp)
if it's a rewire/Cut and Crimp did you get all the pin in the right spots on the new connectors?
i have fixed ALOT of the cut and crimp/repin's and it's just ezer to just do the strut conector to ecu harnes with the 3 wire connection then to repin cheaper to whe you remember if you connect the pins wrong you can fry the ecu and all the sensors.

koa

2. does the CEL come on when you turn the key. If No Does Any thing turn on???

Maybe you can help me with my car...i have no cel or battery light or the other lights tht turn on when i try to start the car.
