I have searched all over the place and cannot find the answers to my problem(s).
I was told the harness should have clipped directly into the Gsr dizzy, well of course things cant be THAT easy.
So I'll list the wires that I have on the Gsr dizzy (00 obd2) and 99 Civic harness.
B18c1... Blu/yel, blu/grn, Blu(thicker), Wht, Wht/blu, Blk/yel, yel/grn, org?, org/blu.
D16y8 harness.... Blk, Red, Wht, Blk/yel, yel, Grn, Blu, yel/grn.

This is how I have them connected as of now. (car is not running right and throwing a ckp CEL.)

D16 harness -> b18 dizzy
yel/grn - yel/grn
Blk/yel - blk/yel
wht - wht
yel - org
grn - org/blu
blu - blu/grn
red - wht

I was told that the thick blue wire on the gsr dizzy does nothing (there was no blue wire on the gsr harness either)
I have a Blue/Yel wire left over on the dizzy side
and a Blk wire left over on the d16 harness.

I am not sure if all of the wires are matched up correctly but if anyone could give me some information on this it would be greatly appreciated.

 

OK after trial & error I've cleared all codes except for the 22 (vtec pressure switch?)... I replaced the switch and its still throwing that code, and the engine won't rev above 5k rpm, anyone know why this is?

 

bump for help on my car (thanks scott for all your help) just a few more kinks and it should be right.

 

Anyone?

 

come on people help me and my car out!

 

should have taken both dizzys apart.
Taken the guts from the d and put in the b series cap. problem solved.

 

bump for some answers

 

I had the same problems a few years back. I had the incorrect distributor. Check to make sure you have the correct one.

 

are you using a stock obd2 gsr ecu?

make sure the vtec pressure switch wiring is going to "C" 15 at the ecu. (c is the middle sized plug) wire should be blue & black. look at the ecu connector from the back (looking from where the wires go into the plug). count 5 accorss from the left on the second row.

use a voltmeter and set it to continuity. it should make "beep" sound or show up on the volt meter if the wire makes a solid connection.

i did that.. its started once.. then wont start again.. is that the problem the dizzy?? man my car hasnt started for a month.. i cant seem to figure out if the dizzy is the problem...

 

okay so it started. are you getting spark from each wire?

 

no car is a 00 EX.. motor is a LS.. im using my stock harness... im gettin spark.. fuel everything.. sometime when i try to start the car the fuel will prime but wont start.. then when i try again the fuel wont prime until i mess with dizzy...

 

the firing order on the dizzy. Did you put it on the b firing order or the d firing order?

 

i put it in the D firing order.. also put in in the B firing order but it would misfire than a mother*...

 

well..any other imput would help i will keep on thinking about it..

 

Okay... I am really confused. There are like 3 different people posting the same questions. One says they have a GSR, the other says its an LS. WTF is going on here?!!!!

 

bump....no answers to this question???? 2000 ex swapin a b18c??? how do i wire the dizzy???? 8 vs... 9 wires????
