hey guys, im new to this forum and all so if im repeating things lmk.

well i recently traded my baby (95 eg coupe ex ac ps b16b built head) for a clean 99 ek hatch dx. now the problem is when i got the car (like always hiddin ****) the idiots put a vtec harness on a non vtec motor (d16y7) and put a y8 mani, now my problem is the car is wasting mad gas i mean more gas than my 5.0 mustang... now to explain everything that is disconnected are both o2 sensors,crank posision sensor, and iacv. now iacv is connected but the problem is its not reading right so i guess its throwing alot of fuel or somthing to compensate or w.e for the air..

if anyone knows whats going on please lmk email or w.e
im trying to go back to stock or atleast stop wasting gas. before i swap the motor. im doing stance then power so please anyone out there can help me it would be awesome thanx.

plug them in that's why you're getting **** millage.

on the 2nd note the cps should be hooked well they all should be but out of all those, those 2 stood out along with the iacv.

i dont think you understand... vtec harness has one o2 sensor and non vtec has both.. non of the wires are even close to the o2 clips if not i would have connected them along time ago. lol im about to just waste money and buy a obd2b non vtec harness its pissing me off also idle is really low..

First off, EJ6. Not EK.

Second off, the harness used in your car isn't even from the correct YEAR if it doesn't have two O2 plugs. You need to run wires for the primary sensor. The secondary sensor won't affect fuel mileage, but the primary one definitely will.

bro seriously wtf does it matter???? why the **** do you ppl get botherd so much if i say its a ek or ej6 no ******* diference (watch out ones from japan other isnt ok cool bro).... second i know the primary will, the question i was asking was if anyone knew anything else???? cause im not going to leave everything unplugged im that type of person that likes **** done correct not like all them honda guys that run there cars on 3 cyclinders cause they have **** unplugged.. i clearly stated i got the car that way. if i knew that it was before i traded i would have never done it....

DatSlammedek4

just tryign to get the car to run right. to last me a lil longer before i throw swap

B_Swapped93

WHY didn't you look at the engine bay/test drive it clearly you would have noticed something was off by that list of what's unplugged

DatSlammedek4

i did drive it. thats the problem it was running fine i just didnt knotic the gas till later i looked at the bay i saw unlplugged clips and saw vtec clip and started asking why they put a vtec harness and never answerd... thats all

jbpnoman

And you didn't notice that the CEL was on when you were test driving it? Or was the bulb removed, and you didn't notice that it didn't turn on and then off when you started the car?

How about instead of getting butthurt, you take the advice given to you and fix your problems instead of being shitty. If you already know so much, why did you even bother making a thread? Why don't you just fix the problem?

DatSlammedek4

it was driving quite good. like lets say your driving in 5 in my car you can cruz in fith cause under 40mph it starts shaking like its going to turn off but dosnt. im about to just get a harness or the swap. im just trying to go stance before power like i said im doign things diferent unlike i did with the eg

DatSlammedek4

look guy idk wtf your problem is, but when i drove the car it was fine period. check engine light was on cause of all sensors they didnt tell me that, idk what the car has done to it period.... first of idk why the **** you would bother doing anything to a POS single cam its a waste of money. second i made a thread to see if ppl can help me out here a lil not tell me **** i know already and then make me look like an *** cause of the **** im saying...

I don't have a problem. You're the one who decided to catch an attitude when I corrected you on a dumb mistake, and tried to help you. Maybe you should work on your social skills before you work on your wrench turning.

DatSlammedek4

3 years honda tech 2.. i think my wrench skills are good.. lets start fresh. when i got to work i plugged my computer in and all 4 sensors showed up.. i looked at the harness and tried fixing the iacv but nothing and looked at the o2 sensors but nothing ended up happening cause i was thinking at the time i should just get a obd2b harness and everything should get fixed but now that i think about it idk since the kid put a y8 mani.. understand?

jbpnoman

3 years, and you decided to create a thread instead of fixing all known problems and going from there?

For the IACV, make sure you aren't mixing up your plugs - it's an easy (and common) mistake. Is it a 3 wire, or 2 wire? For the O2 sensors, either they used an OBD1 harness which has no secondary O2 sensor, or they used an OBD2 EX/SI harness, which would have the secondary O2 sensor in the dash harness, rather than the bay harness. What ECU did the PO use, and is there an adapter harness? That would make it easy to figure out what harness was used. Did they use a Y7 exhaust, or a Y8 exhaust?

it would be a lot easier, a lot cheaper, and a lot less time consuming to just run wires for the O2 and IACV sensors, rather than completely replacing the harness.

DatSlammedek4

i didnt wana fix anything cause like i said i was jus tthinking of getting the correct harness, and for the rest idk it probably is a si harness cause it dose have obd2 clips not obd1. it has y7 exhaust and also p2e ecu no jumper harness

jbpnoman

At least it has the right ECU.

Sounds like an EX/SI harness, then. Just run find an ECU pin-out (they're all over the internet) and run your own wires. Hell of a lot cheaper and easier than ripping out and replacing your whole harness.

DatSlammedek4

its not the whole harness its just the engine harness. and i was looking on google and p2e is 96-98 not 99-00 so im lost as **** man seriously this is why you dont buy ****** rigged ****... i ask the guy before trading I WANT A BONE STOCK CAR. its stock bro just intake and y8 mani.. well guess what. im a sitting duck.....

DatSlammedek4

nvm just found out on hondata its both 96-00 p2e civic dx
