Icon2 Need help on z6 swap

Ok i have done everything except one thing, and that is switch the number 14 prong on the A ecu plug, to the number 12 slot. my problem is that i have absolutly no idea how to determine what each slot is. Is there certain wire colors? oh i need to take the 13th prong out and leave it out. btw this is for the vtec solenoid

Helpful post from new member ^

The pic below shows what do with the other end of the plug, all of this assumes the swap is going into a '96 - '98 Civic (or '99 - '00 HX)

no tool just a mini screw driver or pick to pop the white clip out. then u can tug the wires or push on the other side of the plug and remove them. u can leave a13 hooked up it wont bother anything

If that's the case, you need the pic and diagram showing OBD2B ECU instead of the OBD2A shown above.

I used a pin that my sister has for pinning down her knitted scarves for form. It's small but stiff, perfect for what we need. The pick in the pics above seem too big hence the holes seem wallowed out.

yeah , ok i got everything wired up. the motor has fluids and all connections that i believe are supposed to be connected are hooked up. I hooked up the battery went to start it and not what i wanted happened. My wipers start running and they arent on, and my defrost fan kicks on and its not physically turned on. Im clueless on what it is, and the only thing i can think of is getting an obd2/1 scanner and see what it says. any suggestions?

Ok so i got the motor running and its F*** amazing, i pressed the clutch in and it worked. i Threw it in gear and started out my driveway, and before i could reach the end of my driveway a pop occurred. No noise we just felt it. Now it feels as if the clutch is permanently pressed in, ii have pulled the trans 3 times now putting the clutch and everything back together correctly and it still is not working. yes i bleed the clutch right. yes my slave cylender is working, yes my tob is on, pressure plate clutch plate and flywheel are all brand new.

So when i start the car i put it in gear and the car doesnt move, thats my issue. FML
please help

Does the clutch feel ok? Does the speedometer move when you're in gear with the clutch out? Sounds like an axle isn't seated in the transmission honestly. Or you got really unlucky and blew the diff pin.

OK its been awhile since i have been on here. Since then i have blown up a motor and started from scratch. I bored the z6 block and put in new pistons, rods, built the head, and placed a snail on the front. I have an s200 ecu and it blinks red when trying to start the motor for the first time. It has yet to start for the first time. I have spark, fuel, new starter, grounds have been triple checked and nothing so far. I dont know if it would be an issue but i am using a jdm intake and it is missing one sensor on the back of the manifold compared to the stock mani. I am also missing the wires for the plugs on the intake. my timing is correct, my battery is charged and i just dont know or have the knowledge to figure this out on my own. Please help me
