I have about 10 pins with wires on them right now, but the pins just don't fit quite right into the harness....I dunno if Honda ECU pins are different between models, but these clearly aren't the correct ones for my application...

Where do you people get your pins when you do it? I need some for an EG hatchback (if it even matters what kind of car it is?)

Are they expensive? I tried searching, but found literally nothing on this. TIA for the n00b questions.

first of all, having poopy breakfast breath is 50-100 times worse than morning breath alone.

Secondly, yes ecu pins do differ between the Honda vehicle generations. Since you own an EG and it's an OBD1 vehicle, rule of thumb would be to find another spare set of OBD1 ecu plugs. Hence, you'll want to get spare ecu plugs from any JDM or US 92-95 civic or integra since they all use the same plugs and pins at the ecu plug(s). Visit a junkyard or call up a JDM engine/front clip importer and see if they can sell or give you the ecu plugs from a front EG/DC clip with about 4" of wiring left over.

yeah i just went to a yard and lopped off all three connectors from the ECU making sure to leave extra wire length. you get plenty of practice removing the pins too since there's so many of them in case you mess up

good luck

heh..yeh, that poop breath is Bad

Alright...so I guess that's the source of my problem.

I called all the local import junkyards around me, and they won't sell them because they sell the complete harnesses...

Is it possible to buy them new? If not, I guess I could start calling some importers and shops and what not.

Thanks for the info..I was struggling with it for like 10 minutes before I finally realized it just wasn't gonna fit

Katman

no, you dont want to buy them brand new, way too much money. You'll have to buy the whole ecu/underdash harness in fact. Honda doesn't sell just the pinned wires. Just call around, someones bound to help you. Just to recap, you want 92-95 (obd1) civic or integra plugs.

Jonathan_ED3

anybody have any extras they can spare? or have access to some they could get me? heh.

im with Katman,

what the hell is with your sig

How do you remove the pins? I have an OBD2.2 and sat there for about an hour, before i almost broke open the damn thing.
Also hot_EG, how many do you need? Can't say for sure, I might be able to get some.

Ive heard thaty if you take some wires to Radio Shack they could put the pins on the wires for you.. Check them out.. Laters

Jonathan_ED3

Well, it was a (I thought obvious) joke...

heh.

you eat ****? That's sick man, really sick.

Put a little add in the classifieds, I'm sure someone has what you're looking for..

I take a hammer to the plug and it breaks apart the plastic so that you can pry them out.

I get mine from the junkyard too. Unfortunately I don't have any OBD-1's to spare right now.

owen_the_soyboy

go to a pick-it-yourself-junkyard and buy something small, while clipping the ecu pins/wires and stuffing them into your pocket.

Katman

LOL

poison

Jonathan_ED3

I need about 8 of them. I'll IM you...
