im using the stock engine harness that was modified for my b20vtec swap. everything is pretty much plugged in and ready too go. when i go to crank the motor over, the starter engages but the motor will not fire up. i have a 96 cx hatch with 98 ls motor.... any one have suggestions? common problems, anything please. feel free to ask for more input if necessary

 

which is it, b20vtec or an ls? vtec or non vtec?

 

im trying get the ls motor too work... ls.

 

i have the same swap. do you have everything plugged in? there aren't that many wiring mods for this swap. do you have anything cross plugged? that fucked me up.

 

searching helped me a ton. i found everything i needed on HT.

 

everything seems legit. but im sure ive overlooked something..... does the secondary 02 sensor need to be plugged in? i only have the one in the exhaust mani plugged.

 

yeah i usually have time to search but i have a virus on my comp. at home so im using a friends

 

what fuel preassure should i be running?

 

shouldn't matter. for a stock set up, just plug and play. sensor 2 won't have anything to do with it starting, sorry. you did the crank position sensor, and the iacv fix right?

 

no, didnt do that. please elaborate

 

only thing i have done was temporarily blocked coolant lines too and from the throttle body, and replaced the tps sensor.

 

tps sensors are universal for b series right

 

seach for katman. sorry but i can't remember exactly, and i don't want to mislead you. katman's info totally helped me out!

 

 

let me know if you found what you needed. i know there isn't a lot to it. wish i could have helped more.

 

timming is fine. thought since i was using the usdm b18b i wouldnt have any issues and it would be plug and play. this thing cranks but wont start. i will go over AGIN a few things and see whats up.

 

rather than testing the voltage of the injectors, can i just take off the fuel rail and pull the injectors out and see if they are squirting? will i have any sealing problems when i put them back in?

 

OMG LOOSE GROUND WIRE@#$%@!$# starts right up now. only the idle is way up there in the 4000's. maybe because i put the tps in wrong?
