Hey guys, new to the forum. First off i should say that im not a honda guy so i dont know much about them, so bear with me. A friend of mine has a 2000 honda civic (d16y7) and it lost compression. So he bought a used engine (d16y4) from some shop before he flew overseas to work and i will be putting it in while he's away. Well niether one of us realized until i started swapping the intake, harness, and acc. over to the new engine that it doesnt have a crank sensor. So his harness and ecu won't work. Ive done some research and im not sure if its 100% correct but all i can find is that i need to use a obd1 harness, distributor, and ecu because they didnt use a crank sensor. If thats correct then will i even be able to make it work with the obd2 car? Or am i better off just having the original engine rebuilt and sell the engine he bought to make back some cash?

I’m not sure what car the D16Y4 is in, I haven’t heard of that, but for the OBD2 D16Y7, the crankshaft sensor is number 14 on this page:

If you had a D16Y7, then just use the wiring harness for that engine in your new D16Y engine and add the sensor to the oil pump. Or use the harness from the engine you’re swapping and it should have the plug for crankshaft sensor since it’s OBD2.
