hey guys,
i need help...
i put a B16A2 engine into my 96 cx...
now i got problems ~~~
engine light is on...
and ~ when i plug in the scanner, it says NO COMMUNICATION...
oh ya... i'm miss one plug that goes into the ECU...
i think that's why the scanner can't communicate with the ECU...
the car ran ok for like 4 month...
then i parked it over the summer...
now it runs funny... sometimes it doesn't start...
sometimes it will just stall ~___~
i'm guessing something's up with the ECU...
because after i reset ECU... it runs ok again @___@
so... i donno... some help please ???

If you have a EK9, then you already have a B16B.

You should see a little blue tag that says "E-EK9 Type R"

Unless you mean you have a EJ6 hatch?

NO SIR!
CIVIC CX... not B16A2... D16Y5 SOHC!!!

I've been surfing this site for about a year or so now and I just recently started posting. Out of all the posts I've read, that remains so true. People would rather judge than help. It's so sad.

five_wang:
You're missing a plug for your ECU? Did you not get/use a complete harness or am I not reading it right? I would definitely check out the wiring to the ECU. You should have 3 complete plugs running through the firewall that connect to the top of the ECU. I think your wiring may be fubar'd. Someone with an EK help this man!

Yikes, on an unrelated matter: do I have a limit as to how many posts/replies I can make, because I think I've exceeded that tonight... too much to talk about.

five_wang05

alright... my bad then... EK9 already has B16
i am just trying to ask for help...
B16A2 into my CIVIC CX... !!! ok?...thanks !

~ thanks guys ~

DestructoEH

thanks man...
i got the engine out from a friend's car...
a 2000 CIVIC DX... he has 3 plugs...
but one was with the car it self... only 2 plugs are with the engine...
it's just something that's really messed up...

i only have 2 plugs running through the firewall... the BLUE and the GREY...
@___@

phthalo

yeah the other plug should run from your dash i think i can't remember i haven't done that stuf for a few years

pb16b

there's your problem right there. your wiring is all wrong.

your b16a came out of a 2000 dx? if so, that's obd2b. your car is 1996 cx which is obd2a. who did the wiring? at the end, you should have 3 ecu plugs and 1 green plug which integrates to your dash harness. hope this helps.

Evo-man@20psi

If you had an EK9 you would not be trying to swap in a b-16a it would have came with a b-16b

VRD^sam

your Ek9 doesn't come with a d16y5...it comes with a D16y7 swap....get it right...

-Gambit-

who cares if he wants to call his hatch an ek9, get over it people.
You are running the wrong harness, you either have to convert yours or buy a new one

kleanlscivic

try getting a 96-98 civic ex harness and redo the wiring harness, and then get a jumper harness to go from obd2a to obd2b if you are using a 99-00 si ecu. i cant remember what website i saw it on but try to search if i come across it again i will post if for you

which motor is it? b16a2 or a DX motor?

JDM-97CX

The harness that he is missing is for an automatic trans vehicle only. If he was missing any other harness the vehicle would not run.

thanks to the people that actually tried to help, and not give this guy ****, im not sure if this information is correct, but here it goes.

buy a new harness possibly for your year 96-98 vtec would be hard to find, just look for a non vtec engine harness, and i believe if you look for katman's post he has the wire up for vtec and i think map sensor? could be wrong.

good luck

EDIT

-JSpecEk*9-

damn **** talkers!! he jus needs help and you guys jus **** the thread. ek9 ej8 its the same thing. if it was a really EK9 he wouldnt be askin for help. damn! stupid **** talkers let the man ask his question.

alrite guys...
i changed the title...
i hope u guys are happy...

B16A2 into my 96 CX hatchback (MT)

i don't want to start ****...
i am only interested in how to fix the problem...
i'd like to thanks those who are actually providing me some info...

oh ya...

pb16b : the engine came out of a 2000 DX...
but the engine was originally out of a 2000 SIR
and yes i think the missing plug is suppose to come from my dash harness
cuz the 2000 DX had that 3rd plug and was able to pull codes...
but mine, (ThePest ) i am not able to pull and codes...
the check engine light is on... i jumper the wire from that blue 2 pin connector ... try to get the light to blink to get some codes... and also i tried hooking up a scanner... but the scanner wasn't able to communicate with the ECU...

kleanlscivic :
2000 SIR motor...
using 2000 SIR ECU

JDM-97CX:
my car, the engine, trans. are all MT...
i'm missing that plug but my car still runs...
@___@ it just runs...funny
but i still got VTEC and stuff

ekx4 :
thanks again man...i'll look into it....


thanks guys...
i guess this is how Honda-Tech should be...!!!

oh ya...
any ideas how to CONVERT my harness??? cuz i really would hate it if i have to change the whole thing...
i need my car !!! can't park it and redo the harness... have to get to work...
so since my car still runs... it would be great if i could just CONVERT it without having to park it for a day or 2...~~

kleanlscivic

BUMP this back up for some help, someone knows

jameskersten1

we just fixed a similar problem for a kid around here. He had a 97 1.6el with a 99 b16 from an Sir. He was missing the plug into the ecu as well. after some research we figured it out. The difference between the obd2a and obd2b changed the located of one plug on the harness. On the origanal motor that plug is located on the engine side of the harness and with the 99 Sir that same harness is located on the body side of the harness. To fix you have to do some wiring but its fixable. pm me if you need some more info i will look up my notes from when we did it, it was a little while ago so i cant remember everything right now

five_wang05

thanks man...
but i can't send PM yet...
i've just started using HONDA TECH...
@___@
anyone know how long i have to wait before i can use all the options???
