Default H22a Swap complete....BUT!!!!

I have officially finished my h22a swap into my accord but its throwing two codes and has A LOT of kinks.

Its throwing code 9 which i believe is the Cylinder Sensor code. I even swapped a few which only led to more codes so i redid the wiring back to hwo it was and still code 9 appears, i'm starting to think the dizzy's bad. I'm also throwing code 10 which is Intake Air Temperature code. A bit lost on what to do with that, any body with experience in this?

aside from that, i think my obd1 harness needs more than just fabbing the dizzy wiring...i think my thermostat plug isn't correct and so on and so forth...i've been lookin at the diagrams but somethings dont match up.

Also, my car is overheating because no fan, for some reason it doesn't go on when it needs be, as of right now i think i have it jumped to another wire that gets a signal whenever my car turns on....aside from that...i dont think my AC fan is working either...i just wish there's some wiring specialist out there in So Cal that knows how to do this swap right.... i have an obd1 h22a1 going into my obd2 96 lx accord. and i'm using my accord harness. TIA guys.

I know this thread may be unclear as to what specifically is wrong, but there is no one specific thing thats wrong, i think these are all the kinks people get when they do this swap.

as far as overheating.......the reason ur fan doesnt turn on is bc of the thermostat sensor...either u didnt wire it right..or like u said u might have the wrong one..... we just did a gsr swap in my friends teg...and we had the same problem....what u can do is wire a switch to it...just turn it on whenever u want......idk the answer to the rest of your problems...if ur dizzy was bad..ur car probably wont start..so thats probably not it....

yeah, i was gonna look through all the plugs and see what was up with them...the problem is that i dont have he time and i somewhat need this done asap. Not trying to freeload off of HT for this info but i've done a lot of looking over diagrams... i was just wonderin' if anybody knew for sure whats the deal with all the other things like the Cylinder sensor code and such things like the fan. thanks for replying dude.

I PM'ed you about the fan, but about the TDC sensor..

I think I might know what that is. I am not sure what CEL's im throwing but I cant figure out what to do to check them, but I did notice that on the accord ex i pulled there was a 4 wire coming from the bottom of the tbelt cover, and there is a plug for it on the ex harness but it isn;t hooked to anything on the h22 swap I did..

Yeah alright, looked it up. Do you have the orange(peach) with the blue stripe going to what would be b13 on the obd1 ecu? Do you have the white wire with the blue stripe going to what would be b14? If all you had to do was an obd2 to obd1 dizzy conversion (which I have read you do on the lx harness, on ex we run wire directly to the ecu) then you should have either the above colors or possibly

Solid green on the obd2 side (harness) going to solid green on the obd1 side (dizzy) and solid red on the obd2 side (again, harness) going to white wth a blue stripe on the dizzy side.

Did you use some kind of conversion harness? If so, one sure way to check this is to pull the dizzy plugs from the harness side thru the firewall to where the ecu is. Get a multi-meter and go thru wire by wire (9 of em, doh!) making sure that when you put it on a particular wire it goes to the proper pin on the male side of the conversion harness. If you did not use a conversion harness, you can take the cover off the ecu and touch the multi-meter to the peices there. You are obviously looking for resistance to show its correct.

All obd1 cars throw the same code. Its TDC sensor, and there are 2 on your dizzy one for + one for -
