your the guy that wired your car from a dx to si right? you wired somehting wrong.. in the injectors somewhere.. the relay did that to me too.. good luck. your going to need it.. unless you change all the underdash to an si.. like how i did.. i got an extra underdash si harness for sale. it's off a 91... didn't work in my 89.. 75 shipped..

If you did a dual point injection to port injection conversion, then you probably put the new injector wires for 2 an 4 in the wrong place. There are some power wires on the opposite end of the A plug that if disconnected will cause this problem. Most likely the 2 and 4 injector wires are in A13 and A9 not A3 and A7 where they belong.

You never know. Once a Honda enthusiast, always a Honda enthusiast. Might still be around with that si harness.
