While stripping my car for a major overhaul I came into a little problem I have had this car for about 4 months now and now im getting around to fixing it so I have a couple questions

1. Did the d16a6 come in automatic ,mines is, and would it have a clutch cable because I have a wire that looks like a clutch cable and is connected to the clutch cable mount and moves but it does not connect to anything, it is just there where would it connect to on a D16A6 engine. I have pic if you want to see.

2. On the Obd0 ecu how could I tell what ecu it is.

3. How long does the throttle body cable have to be the one that is connected to mines is about a 2 feet long I have to wrap it to keep it from going every-where?

seriously dude how many pedals do you have on the floor? and no i dont beleive the a6 ever came with a automatic.

 

Two pedals im not that stupid

 

90-91 EX sedan had an A6 and it was option to be automatic.

never an automatic Si that i have seen although they are rumored to be aorund in canada

 

Ok so no automatic now I have to figure out what to do with my A6 since that means the Ecu is either not the stock si ecu (pm6 i think) or it is made for a manual.

 

Yes we have automatic Si's here in Canada.

 

pics of the loose cable on the transmission

 

yes i have seen civic si with auto @ indiana junk yard

 

whoa that picture is funky i didnt know automatics came with a clutch cable....
questions.... does your car start up and drive??? do you have the autamic shifter in your car???? are you sure that the previous owner didnt know wtf he/she was doing and took out the clutch pedal??? cause im not completely sure butim almost positive that automatics dont have that cable... hahaha... that's kinda odd
dude i geuss that means that your **** is rare then

 

thats not a clutch cable its a kickdown for the tranny, it should attach near the throttle rotor i believe

 

Yes the car starts up and the Auto shifters in the car, and i havent drove it but twice (no tags or regestration) so i cant remember if it goes into 2nd, Im preety sure the last owner didnt do the swap but someone else.

thats what i thought and I checked the manual and cant find really much anything related.
or where to put it

 

Also just for reference. There are Auto A6's they came in the 90-91 EX As stated above,
They didnt use PM6 PCM's tho, they use a PS9. I know cuz im staring at one right now.

And yes that should be a kickdown cable on your transmision.

ok thanks, now can you show me where to put the cable on the engine or how to hook it up, pics would be nice

 

wrong.....may be right for the good ol' USA but here in canada there are 1990-1991 Civic Si HB Automatic's and no they do not run a PS9 but rather a auto version of the PM6

i know this for a fact because i am using one that i purchased labelled PM6 and it is continually throwing a lock up solenoid code

ill take a pic of it if you require it

there are a whole **** load of auto Si's for sale all the time in canada

 

thanks dude any pic will due, ill fix it from there

and now im just confused about ECU I will have to check tommarow which one i have.

They exist, I can confirm it. I've seen a few around here, and they're not as rare as you might think.

 

first sorry if i repeat iny info. kinda skimed the thred

the only auto A6 that i know of was 90-91 ex sedan. that "clutch cable" is the kick down cabke and tells the trany when to shift. more throttle it'll shift later or father apart. the corect ecu to use (assuming a6 is stock I.E. MPFI) is PS9. if your car is a auto and/or it has a PS9 there should be a wht/red wire on A10. thats your park lock. I.E. brake presed + ecu is good (in park, .5 tps) = can take out of park.

i did the MPFI swap on my auto LX sedan. so basicly i got a EX FI system though using 90% SI parts. went rather well once i figued out how evretthng goes. u need a auto TB too b/c it has a bracket and a 2-cable throtle wheel. if that cable is not hooked up to the throttle it will go from first to fourth in about 3-4 seconds :S

ifu want a little more info on this look on my mpfi swap thread:
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1365353

a pic just for the hell of it. u kan knda see the kickdown cable and how it conects to the TB.

 

Diemaster is correct. You will need a 90-91 Civic EX auto throttle body to hook up the kickdown cable correctly.

I can vouch for this! I tried using a manual tb with single throttle wheel and the car didn't shift very well

Here is a closer pic of my dual throttle wheel:



Also I'm not sure if you mentioned it, but what kinda car do you have?

 

Sweet, this weekend im going junkyard hopping to find that throttle body, thanks for the pics the car is a 1988 honda Civic with a D16a6, i couldnt tell you what madel it was i bought it primered black with no emblems.

 

you could also use a ps9 ecu, i remember thats the ecu in the 4dr civic ef's that are auto, even better if you ever plan on going with a vtec motor, 1 wire vtec owns!

 

I might go mini-me with this motor so the vtec option helps. Im weighing my options
