Ok, Last Night, I Hit An Offramp To Another Road, And Came To A Stoplight. When I Stopped, My Speedometer Jumped All Over The Place, And My Headlights, Dashlights, And Pretty Much Anything That Was ON At The Time, Except My CD Player Would Blink At A Regular Interval. The Stop Light Turns Green And I Literally Had To Drive From That Point On Like This : D2 To D3 To D4 ... I CANNOT Start Off In D4 Like I Should.

Im Puzzled At This, Anyone Have Any Insight ?

Since Then, Ive Swapped Out The Dizzy, And Checked My Grounds From The Chassy To The Block, Tranny , Etc ...

P.S. Ive Also Reset The ECU :X

Bump ... Also Forgot To Add ... Now It Seems, If I Start Up In Park, Everythings Fine, But As Soon As I Hit The Throttle ... The Lights And Crap Go Haywire, And When I Say Crap, I Mean The Motor Starts To Idle Erratic At The Same Interval As The Lights Blinking ...

It helps to mention details about the car - year, trim, mods, etc.

Sorry, 2000 Honda Civic DX - Auto - D16Y7 - Ran For CEL Codes - Got Back A 17 (VSS), A 74 (Random Misfires On Cylinder 4) And I'm Not Sure If I Read It Right But A 31 (Transmission Signal B) ...

Check whether 7.5A dash fuse 15 is blown.

How old are the spark plugs and wires?

Just Replaced The Wires Less Than 2 Months Ago, Along With The Plugs ... And Holy Crap ! Yes, That Fuse IS Blown ! I'll Replace And Report Back ! RonJ - What All Does That Fuse Control ?

Former User

Alternator, VSS, O2 sensors, ELD, EVAP, and more.

If changing the fuse doesn't help, have your alternator checked. Sounds like it might be over-charging.

RonJ ... Your Genius ... Glad It Was Nothing Major, Sucks Though, Missed AMA Superbike Week At VIRginia International Raceway Due To This ... Oh Well ! Counting My Blessings ! Thanks SOOOOOOO MUCH MAN !!!!

If the fuse blows again check out this TSB, 2000 models aren't supposed to be affected, but its highly possible. --> http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/tsb/civic/x99-029e.pdf

Whoa "PROBABLE CAUSE - The engine wire harness is rubbing on the intake
manifold bracket."

Im Running A Higher Risk Of This Right Now, The Harness I Picked Up Was Missing That Tubing AND The Plastic Block Case Around The Harness ... Thanks For That Link ! ... Looks Like I'll Be Grabbing Some Tubing To Double Guard Against This ...

^ Might wanna grab some connectors too. This could have been your cause and the wire grounded out or shorted out due to wear and blew the fuse. even if you had the tubing, with such minimal protection and high cause to fail, this could happen on an '00 anyways, which has been said.
