ive done a search and found nothing that i could comprehend. im not good at wiring. can someone please explain to me how to wire in a resistor box. the box has 4 red/black and 1 yellow/black wire. what do i connect them to.

honda9369

i used the radio shack resistors and i think thats why my car wont run right

Very simple take the plug with 8 yellow/black wires do a continuity check with each injuector plug(finds the coresponding yellow wire). Then when you find the four on the acctuall plug cut each of the 4 about 1 1/2 inch back from the plug. Take the red wire and the 4 1 1/2 inch wires and join them, then take the 4 blacks and yellows that run to the acctual plugs and in no particular order join each black to a yellow wire. Very simple.

see the thing is i have 4 red/black and 1 yellow black on the resistor box

honda9369

ok there are 4 black and 1 red on the box. there was a plug on there. so i no it may look ghetto. but could i hook the bos up off the injector clips? if so what direction. do the 4 blacks go toward the ecu or the injector clips?

honda9369

so ive read the other forums in here about the resistor bow wiring. and it says to look for the dead end plug with 8 yellow black wire on them. well i have no dead end plug nor anything with 8 yellow/black wires

The "Dead End" connector is in the drivers side corner, near the fluid res.

The dead plug is on the driver's shock tower of OBD1 vehicles.

t-ro i have a obd2 civic. its the box i got from u with that box which has a plug on it cant i just plug it in? solderless box. i noticed that u had the solderless ones for sale. so can someine tell me where the plug is

honda9369

well aparently the dead-end plug is somewhere under the im. im good at hands on. i installed the turbo and **** myself. but i just cant comprehend this wiring ****. i believe that the radio shack resistors is what the problem is. so now i m goin to try the resistor box. id like to see some pics of installation. or explain in detail how to do it. please. id really like to get my car running

Ahh its OBD2 I really dont know where that connector is on your car. When you find out let me know though.
Check my instructions the last pic is a wire which you have to put together to install it without cutting your OEM wires (ie solderless). If you can't make that wire let me know and I'll put one in the mail for you on Mon morning. Just PM me your address again.

honda9369

i gonna just cut the wires anyway. the plug is underneath the intake mani.

Joseph Davis

Yeah, there is a gang plug under the IM, correct. The "dead" cap acts as a power distribution point... you need to use a multimeter to identify what four wires go to your injectors, which wire feeds power, wire in the resistor box, and make sure everything else is still getting power fed to it or your car won't start. If it's anything like the only OBD2 car I've installed a resistor box on, a 97 Piglude, anyway.

honda9369

thanks guys. i hope it all goes well. im hopin that the reason it ran shitty is cuz of the radio shack resistors. ill let u no tomorrow how it goes

what exactly is this resistor box doing ?
Can it be modded to work on any fuel injection system?
Lets say you wanted to use it on a different type of engine where you had to use low impedence injectors with a high impedence system, can you make it work ?
Sorry for all the questions .

This is IMO overkill. It is very simple. Heres a pic




All you have to do is follow the four yellow wires FROM the injectors to about half-way or so and cut them. Buy some wire from pep boys, etc that is the proper gauge, this will be used for extending. Wire the four wires FROM the ecu together then solder them to the red one on the resistor box, finish it up some shrink wrap for safety and cleanness. Then use the wire you bought to extend the four remaining wires to wherever you put the resistor box and wire them accordingly in no particular order. If you know what your doing with the extra wire you can make this look spotless without the continuity bullshit.

a-jperformance.com

yellow, green, red, brown wires go directly to the injectors... what signal do they carry ?
the red wire from the resistor box intercepts the other wire going from the ecu to the injector.. what signal does that wire carry? ( the one from the ecu )
The yellow wires going from the resistor box to the injector seem to carry the modified signal, is that correct ?
I am asking this way so I can get this to work on something else besides a Honda.
Thanks !

Hrm, good but the yel/blk wires don't actually go to the ecu.

Maybe not but for arguments sake it makes the diagram easier for people to understand. I guess it would be more accurate if it read "From Firewall" but it's not my diagram and I don't think it really matters that much.

honda9369

yea after i already figure it out u come up with a very easy to understand diagram,lol but we should use this for future resistor box questions

PHiZ

Well then I'm adding this for completness.

i wish my resistor box looked like that. mine looks like a ash-tray from an old plymouth or something like that.
