Si harness has round 7 wire connector at the distributor - DX harness has square 5 wire connector - are you sure you have Si harness?

If you have 5 pins in your main dizzy plug, and the plug is square, you have a dx!

the DOHC ZC distributor uses a square 5 wire connector like on the DX - when the ZC was swapped in, they had to swap the connector - the other 2 wires on the ZC went to the CYL sensor on the end of the exhaust camshaft - one blue with yellow stripe and one blue with green stripe - you need a Si or HF round 7 wire connector to swap onto your harness - put the 2 CYL sensor wires back into that connector to match the location on the connector on the distributor

If you need a 7 wire Si engine harness plug to plug into the distributor to replace the 5 wire plug let me know I have a couple laying around here, $5 dollars shipping included to where ever you are
