new to imports
I recently aquired a 93 civic dx that someone had changed the engine to a d15z1. The engine idles erratically and the vtech isn't even wired up. I need some kind of idea of where to go to fix these problems and make the car run right. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: new to imports (bigdracing)
well, if you want to "go" somewhere to get it fixed, then the honda dealer can fix it I am sure. If you check out the stickies at the top of the forum, then you will find a DIY about wiring vtec. And are you sure vtec is not wired? Some civics were prewired for vtec, even if they were not equipped with it. I think it was the 92s and maybe the 93s, but anyway. Check out the stickies and FAQ

as for wiring it up, it's quite simple, put imo, go to a salvage yard and find a donor harness, vtec or not, so you have the wires to fit into the pins(on your civic wire harness).

Re: new to imports (bigdracing)
the reason I don't think it is wired is because the plug located under the vtec selonoid has nothing plugged into it I believe this is the pressure switch. And there is also a loose wire comomg from the vtech selonoid itself. I have a wiring diagram and have located the pin for the vtec on the ecu but there are no wires in the wiring harness pulg that go to the pin.
