The title of the post says 99 HB which I assume you are talking about a 99 Civic hatch and you are using a GSR engine harness??? Unless you really butchered the GSR harness and Civic harness together, I don't see how you've even got this far. Maybe I'm just reading this wrong, what exactly are you doing?

That's a lot of work considering that you could use a 99-00 Civic Si or EX harness for near plug and play on any VTEC motor.
