d16y7 engine/d16y8 ECU in 96 EX: Wire harness/ECU and heater problems
Hey guys I bought a 96 ex civic 5 spd manual. with a d16y7 in it (NOT Y8 it was swapped) . Ok first of all its using a vtec ecu and y8 harness. Its throwing codes from it
It has a y8 manifold installed. Now im wondering if I can just buy the y7 harness and ecu and my problems will be solved? And my other issue is my heat doesnt work inside the car.. ac i gone..but that shouldnt effect my heat. Jusst blows cool

The y7 harness and ECU should solve the code problems.
For the heater, check whether the coolant level is low and whether the heater valve is stuck closed due to a heater cable problem (near front passenger's left foot).
