1997 Accord EX engine bay harness plugs
[1997 Honda Accord EX (Vtec)]
I recently replaced my head gasket, timing belt, and distributor, and when I removed all the harness plugs I had numbered them all so I knew where they went, but due to some extremely humid days, every one of my markings disappeared! I tried to 'guesstimate' where the plugs went by size/distance to plug, but now when I try to start it, it just cranks, and when cranking my speedometer bounces (Like RPM should), so I am assuming I have one or more plugs in the wrong spot - Does anyone have a good pic or two or where the harness plugs go? TIA!

That's really great advice, but it still does not help me get this car running right now o_O

UPDATE:
For future reference to anyone who removes the throttle body, and the car won't start after: Check the engine ground at the intake manifold!!! this one little liar held down by a 10 mm bolt is the reason why I went through three Distributors thinking they were all bad, and was not getting any spark at all! The worst part is that the children and HaynesThe wor make no reference to this in the step by step head removal and replacement guide o.O
