Why wouldnt polartiy matter..isnt an injector like a solinoid and if switch it then it would be closed on start up instead of open..... Im just want to know alittle more b4 I go hack my harness up some more.
It doesn't matter, because I wired up my RC's like in random orders as far as both the wires to each injector, and all work just fine.

As far as grounds go, I once drove my car around all day with the engine ground wire off (whoops) but I suppose if ALL the grounds of the engine are not connected that must effect something right?

At this point check everything everyone is telling you (that you haven't already) as crazy as it might be.

The most important ground is the tranny ground. Make sure it is connected to the front subframe. Also make sure your ground is connected by the thermostat.

Well, finally the car is running. I did a valve adjustment and put more water in the battery(it was boiling, left on the charger to long ) gave it some gas and it started right up. Now my problem is it wont rev past 1700 rpms. Im running the hack and ive played with the settings but it still does it right now im cutting 38 all across the board my fuel press is around 50. I thought it might be a vac leak but the vac gauge holds steady right around 20. Any ideas? Also when it gets to 1700 you can floor it and it wont go anywhere like its not getting fuel either. Also the V-Afc is hooked up right, triple checked it and all the volt readings were correct.

-thanks

lower your fpr to 40psi....sounds like your to rich

if you ever tried putting a 12:1 fmu on 310cc injector's you'll know what I mean

the coupe in the sig is @ 40psi with -38 @ every rpm except 1k @ -34 to idle it

on the dyno a/f was 11.7 and pretty flat across the board....still a little to rich....could have still leaned it out some

try setting narrow at -43k for idle and then go to -41 for 2k to 3k then 4k -40 then -38 for 5k then -37 for 6k and so on and do the same for wide throttle too . also it wont want to move unless you mess with the throttle settings, people say to do 98% and 99% but the best one is 72% and 73%. if you are too rich it wont want to rev that high or go past 1700 rpm. now that its running, get that thing over here and show it to me

just a quick suggestion but it seems like you have a shitload of problems... and the cause may be very simple... under the etc menu i beleive is a SENSOR TYPE setting... do you have it set up to pressure, and IN and OUT both set to #6? It's an easy thing to miss (I missed the #6 part) and it fucked everything up. Sounds like your in the same boat?!

did u replace piston rings if so did u position them in the right order as shown in the honda bible if u placed them with the gaps back to back or all along eachother it will cause problems do keep priming the car and check ur oil if there is gas in the oil u dident positon ur piston rings the right way i found that out the hard way

Anyway, for those reading this thread, the ground wires are important because without them there's no path for the current to return to the battery/alternator and without that the car won't start/run.
