I just recently finished my transmission swap i have a d15b in my civic with a d16y8 manual tranny the car wont turn and they key gets stuck when i try to turn the car i cant get the key out unless i disconnect the battery i have a p2t 99-00 si computer im running on i was told it would work for this swap so i hope u guys on h-t could help me out

did you hook up your tranny ground?

phazedd

yes

hm, ok. was the car running with that ECU before? what year is the car? i don't see any reason to be running the stock Si ecu from 99-00 as it is for the b16a2. It should still start, but just won't run well.

2000 civic ex was automatic now manual
for some reason i had thought the stock alarm has something to do with it but im unsure

IIRC the p2t ECU's had theft immobilizers, that could be your problem right there.

i plan on doing this swapp to my d16z6 (ej1)

what kind of wirework did you follow? what link is it?

recheck your wires , make sure the clutch safety switch is engaged. make sure your master and slave cylinders pump liquid efficiently, and also make sure you got the right fluids, dot 3 or 4 for the clutch fluid, mtf fluid for the trans

true what can i do if thats the case if its the ecu?

Is this a no crank or no start problem? As mentioned, test whether the clutch switch is activating the starter solenoid.

phazedd

no crank whatsosever the power of the headunit goes on thats about it

Former User

Got battery voltage on both starter wires?

Does the starter crank when wires are run directly from the battery?

phazedd

i gotta give that try tomorrow

Former User

Definitely do those basic tests, but they may eventually show that the problem is the ignition switch.
