Car's been down for 2 years now and I can't find where or what these plugs do. I've had several people look at it that can't find spots for the plugs either.

Plug 1 on drivers side. I've pointed to the plug and where it ties back into the harness:



Plug 2 by the manifold. Harness T's into the injector harness.



Plug 3 passenger side. Ignore O2 plug.

holy spaghetti batman. OK im gonna totally guess.

stock harness?

do you have your power steering, AC removed, or EVAP canister removed? The first pic looks like one similar to mine and it is the power steering switch plug or something like that.

second one not sure

the third one looks like maybe IACV or black coolant temp on the head under the distributor.

would be easier if you told us the color of the wires on those plugs

my guess

1 knock or ps sensor
2 crank angle
3 iacv

ActiveAero

Yes power steering is completely removed.

Coolant temp sensor is connected.

Where does the crank angle sensor connect on the engine?

Oh BTW the wire colors are:

1st plug: Green and Black.
2nd: White with red stripe and Blue with a red stripe.
3rd: Yellow with black stripe and Black with blue stripe.

I can't find my Helms so I wouldn't be asking so thanks in advance.

yeah that looks like it might be the crank sensor connector. crank angle sensor connects down under the alternator. the sensor comes out from behind the lower cover and goes up behind the belts near the alternator.

I dont have the helms in front of me at the moment, I could try to get it tomorrow if nobody else is able to.

Ok I finally found my helms. I'm on page 23-18 and 23-19 labeled as "Connector Identification and Wire Harness Routing". It lists all of the connectors and shows a picture of the engine bay but it doesn't show the wire color for each plug. Is there like a glossary with all of the connector numbers and wire colors or am I just going to have to start looking page by page at each wiring schematic to try and find the plug I'm looking for?

RTW DC2R

Ive never found a general page with all wire colors, that would be too easy

I believe you will have to find the appropriate diagrams.

the cheaper haynes repair books have the color of the wires with a general wire scheme in the back. i do not have one for the obd2 dc2 chasis or any obd2 honda.
you can then trace the wire color to the ecu to the plug but doens't show a pic of the plug. you hvae to go by wire color

1st is ps
2nd is cfs crank flukuating sensor
3rd i think is iacv (if it is t'd off of the tps and map)

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that not having the crank flucuating sensor plugged in is the reason I'm not getting spark correct?


Edit: I looked at some pics of the CFS in another thread and I swear I've never seen anything like that on mine (magnet looking thing right next to the crank pulley). By the picture I saw it also looks like I'd have to pull the crankpulley and lower timing belt covers if I do in fact have it but even then I don't see how the 2nd plug would reach even if it was routed correctly.

I dont know if that will stop you from getting spark. I think all it does is monitor any strange fluctuations at the crank.
