ive done a b16a2 swap in my ek ,its all in every thing is done the car turns over BUT will not start ,the fuel pump does not prime /so i put a live from the battery to the fuel pump turned the key ,it was getting fuel to the injectors but they was not letting fuel into the engine .
also when i turn the key the engine check light dose not come on .
i was told i was the imob on the obd2a ecu so ive got a p28 and ive got a jumper harness on its way just to see if it is ,but i still think it could be somthing els as some other guy is having the same problem as me in a eg obd1 with no imob on.
pls help me out

 

check the fuse for the fuel pump

 

which ecu are u uising

 

i don't won't to sound dumb, but i had the same problem with my gsr swap in my ek, in the process of the swap i put the ecu in and forgot to plug in one of the connectors in the kick, the reason for this was because i was thinking that the extra plug was in the car in case it was auto. once i relized the cel wasn't coming on thats when i found it, so check to make sure that all plugs in the right kick panel are plugged in, i think it was a blue connector probably about 20 pins,....just a thought

 

try it.

 

well i do have a spare plug that runs at the side if the green one for the interior .but all the plugs are in the ecu and the green one is pluged into the interior green plug.but i was told not to use it but when i pluged that into the ecu the key light comes on and stays on also the engine light comes on too ill take a pic to show you

 

my car is a 99 facelift and the engine come out of a 96ek4 if that helps

 

 

i think thats the one, did you try to start?, and why were you told not to use it?

 

i tryed to start it ,it does turn over but the fuel pump and the injectors have no power , i was told off a guy thats done lots of b16 swaps but on 96eks and he said the 96 dont have that plug ,all they have is the 3 for the ecu and the green one for the interior.
but ive been told that it does sound like the imob cos the imob cuts all the power to fuel the car.

 

If that isnt the problem then I would be willing to say that it is a ground somwhere in the engine bay that connects the engine to the chassis. check the one on the thermostat housing.

 

your transmission ground has alot to do with the injectors and ecu power you should deff. check that one

 

Well, between the transmission ground and the valve cover ground, you should be covering your starter, your ECU, your injectors, and your spark plugs. Make sure you have both and the contact points are clean.

 

check your ground on the thermostat housing, there is a couple of wires that bolt down to the housing. i made the same mistak when i did a motor swap in my eg. its a ten mm bolt

SAME HERE

 

Yea I would check all your grounds. It has got to be something small, If its turning over and getting fuel to the injectors

 

there is no immobilzer on 96-00 civics!!

I'm willing to bet that this is your problem... When you say it turns over do you mean it turns over and the radio ect turn on or do you mean the actually tries to start but just wont fire?

thankyou!!

What engine harness are you using? What ecu? What year is your car?

 

hey whats up i have done a swap before in to a 99 civic(obd2b) I had the same problme sense i have never done this swap before. u need to use the wiring harness from the engine u took out. the obd2b wiring harness itself only has two plugs on it and the other plug comes from the fuse box that is where ur check engine light comes from etc. everyting will work but the car wont start because all the ignition components come from that third plug. You need to use that wiring harness from the 99 civic on ur b16a2 then it will work
