I had a 93 Civic DX Coupe which had a 1st gen B16A. Last night, I took out the motor and swapped it into my 95 Civic EX Coupe. Everyone said it was plug and play so on I went, my very first swap and by myself w/ no air tools. It was a bitch, but somehow I managed to install it.

Anyway, I should start off with all details first. When I took out my Z6, I also removed A/C and Power Steering. I wanted to remove Cruise Control as well, but it's still in the engine bay. Theh unit is unplugged so I'm not sure if it has anything to do w/ what's happening. My VTEC Solonoid wire is disconnected because the plug is broken so I wil lhave to rewire it to connect them together (they were cut).

Every plug was plugged in and everything seemed fine. I turned it to the "ON" position to see if I could hear the fuel pump, which I did. I cranked her, and she started with ease. RPMs were working, but I noticed that my speedometer was going along w/ the RPMs as well. THAT was the problem. There's also a CEL that I didn't dianose yet because my main concern is the speedo.

Can anyone help me out?

Why is the speedometer working along w/ the RPMs?

 

Plug and play? Your not running the B16 on the Z6 ECU are you?

 

No, I am not.

 

is the car on stands and the wheels spinning in the air? i did that once i swapped my motor and i was like WTF then i realized and i was like OH ok.

and ya the P28 should work fine, get it chipped though and hook up that vtec solenoid

 

Yes, the car is currectly in the air.... so the hub is actually moving. But it doesn't make sense that when I rev, the speedo also increases at the same rate as the RPMs..

and yes, it's already chipped..

 

lol dude set it on the ground, the wheels are moving so it reads that the car is moving. just set it down, good the chipped p28 should do you wonders
