does anyone have ideas/comments or skimatics on wiring a 1988 honda crx hf for a b16a swap. I got it wired but i have a check engine light on except when i hit
v-tec the check engine light goes away. Any ideas on what i might have wired up wrong. Plus i have a carbon fiber hood for sale...its a fiber-images hood and i paid $530 for it but will let go for $350. also have spare parts for crx. email me at oneslowtoy@hotmail.com or if u have aim u can get me there at slmmdtoy.

Have you checked what code your ECU is throwing when the engine check light is on.

Make sure all of your connections are soldered and taped. bad wiring job can cause this.

Some sounds very fishy....

So when you start the car up the check engine light is on ?
What is your LED doing on the ECU ? flashing ? nothing ?

Make sure you check the ECU ground at the thermostat housing VERY Critical

Your sure Vtec is coming on > If the Check engine light is on normally a Pr3 or pwo won't let vtec happen with CEL is on.

You didn't rewire the CEL wire to something else by accident ?

What ecu your running pr3 or pwo

happy hunting
