i just swapped a 97 jdm ITR in to my 97 civic. and i also had to do the auto to 5 speed conversion. but the problem im running into is it dosent want to turn over.

i did the wiring in the following thread:
https://honda-tech.com/zero...age=1

but the problem im finding in the wiring here is it seem as though you ned to wire #13 up w/ the 2 thick black wires and green. and i noticed this after more closely looking at the slider from the auto shifter.

now when i try to turn it over the P on the gauge cluster now lights up along with all the other lights that usually light up real qucik on the cluster.

but it isnt turning over.

 

check the wiring over again. You might wanna skim through another write-up and make sure the one you followed is right.

 

anybody have any ideas?

ok now i know my auto - 5 speed wiring is correct. the problem im running into now is when i try to turn the car over. all that happens is the radiator fan turns on thats it.

come on guys i need a few suggestions i need to get this done. haha.

 

anybody have any ideas?

 

I had the same problem. when you put it to the on position the fan turns on and the cluster lights are dim. check your grounds on your motor, it has bad contacts. that was my problem. hope thats it

 

i had that proble too, i didnt have the tranny ground or the thermostat ground hooked up. i connected them and it fired right up... hope this helps

 

yes im hsving dim lights and the radi fan. but im positive i have all the grounds.

tranny
thermo
