Hey, i just swap a 98 b18b ls motor into my 00 ek hb. the car won't start and i don't know what is wrong with it, i use the 96-98 cx-dx harness. i switch the iacv pin and did everything. PLEASE HELP!

 

Did you modify the CKP harness? This is the 3wire plug on the crank. I believe the cx/dx motor has a three wire plug. You need to cut and eliminate one.

 

i did that. i got the plug of the integra harness match the two wire and disguard the other one. the motor spark but won't turn over. also, there's something weird with the car. when i try to start it and then take the key out of the ignition, the light on the cluster stay on even though my key is not in the ignition. and there is a buzzing nosie that i think is coming from my iacv. when i unplug in it stop. but the light stayed on. WTF. PLEASE HELP!!

 

double check all your grounds. The ground to the thermostat is the ecu ground. Check your chasis grounds at the valve cover and transmission. If you definetly have spark...check for fuel. Crank it then crack the fuel line(do this only if you dont have a fuel gauge handy). I dont know about all the dash and noises your getting. Sounds like a wiring issue. Double an triple check your work.

 

does it matter that the motor is 98 and the car is 2000? has anyone done this setup b4? thank

 

Done this one many times(how would I know about the CKP plug hmm?). Just check all your wiring. Pretty much plug and play. Sounds like you missed something along the way. 2000 ecu or jumper plug? Do this......

check for spark at start up
check for fuel pressure
check grounds(as I stated before)
jump your diagnostic plug and check for codes

Did you extend the MAP sensor plug? Dont get the TPS and MAP confused. Both three wire but on the stock cx/dx the map is shorter then the TPS and wont reach on the b18.

 

i use a 96-98 cx or dx harness. the ecu is a 98 also(p75). well, i got the buzzing nosie away and my light went off. i changed the civic fuel filter with an integra ls. does that matter? i think it might be the fuel pressure. i don't hear any sound when i turn the key to on position. on most honda or all honda that i have driven, they all make that nosie when i turn the key. i'm going to check the wiring right now. please still online. thank

When you slid the harness through the firewall you plugged the green one back in? Also check for blown fuses
