got everthing running now i've got a new problem It runs and i'm almost done.
but now at idle the tac stays at 8k. I switched a distributer wire
im sure. which ones do you think they are here is a pic of my wiring.

 

I used the civic harness wih prelude plugs
Civic Prelude

TDC + grn to orn/blu
- red to wht/blu

CKP + Blu to blu/grn
- wht to blu/yel

CYP + yel to orn
- blk to wht

I had three wires left two of them were for the coil
and the colors match. then one left over on both the plug and harness
so I connected them.

 

Try this. Make sure that your cluster is getting a clean signal first off. Pull the cluster out and find the blue wire on the left side cluster plug (closet to the driverside window). That is your tach wire.... splice into it (or cut it off temporarily so you get a clean true signal) and run a wire from that back to the negative side of the ignition coil. See if the tach works.... if so, then you know somewhere the wiring in the harness is probably grounding out. If you still have the same problem, then check your distributor wiring.

 

started working on it today it worked fine when I got started. whent to drive it around the block tack dosn't work at all. I've got a code 4 open CKP sensor

 

Gumby?

 

Maybe the distributor is going bad. Mine started acting wacky the day before it died.

 

yea got a distributor coming. think wont rev over 3k
