You’ll have to pull the codes the old fashion way (look in the FAQ above), the reader won’t work on an obd1 ECU. Then post the codes

Re: 1998 civic b16a2 swap
Hello CivicDave,
I hope you got your issues sorted out and I hope you don't mind me hijacking your thread. New here...so not sure about that stuff.
I jumped on the forum looking for some info on a planned CRX B16a2 swap and have a few questions about the axle shafts and transmission.
What I'm starting with:
89 Honda CRX Si -
D16a6 motor
Syncrotech rebuilt transmission with LSD, upgraded synchros, 4.9 FD and cable clutch (Y1 series - I think)
ProCivic axle shafts level 2.9
OBD1 conversion completed
Road course use only - no on-highway use
Where I am going:
Put the B16a2 motor in the CRX
Mount my transmission from D series to B-series motor
Keep OBD1.
Thinking the 4.9 FD in my transmission should allow 130MPH in 5th gear at 8000 RPM - hoping the pulls are not too short getting to that speed.
My questions about swap:
Is a 90-91 Integra clutch required to mount the Y1 transmission to a B16a6 motor?
If I'm using the Y1 transmission, can I use my high-performance axle shafts? I'm not sure what my options are here?
I see lots of info out there on other details like engine mounts and VTEC wiring and so I think I'm all set in those departments.
Thanks!
Darryl

Re: 1998 civic b16a2 swap
I bet my last post had some eyes rolling ....
I just found this thread and my plan is falling apart. States a D-series transmission cannot be used in a B-series motor without some form of an adapter plate.
https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-...ranny-2841229/
The error in my research was due to me thinking the current transmissions on the D16a6 was an Y1 . The actual transmission on my D-series is a LS3 , so it's not gonna fit on my D16a6 motor.
I will have to use the transmission that came with the B16a2 motor and see whats involved in connecting my clutch cable to a hydraulic transmission or do some research on the adapter plate.
I'll figure it out..sooner or later.
