This is a 92 Civic CX and the plug in the picture comes off the main harness and has a white plug blocking it off. It's sitting on the passenger side by the air intake hole. Any idea what's it for? I can't find it in my Helms manual.

Think either it's for VTEC or ABS.

Just leave it there. Every 92-95 has it.

 

It's definitly not for VTEC......

 

It's not for ABS either. Take the white thing off and look at the plug. Everytime I open my hood, I always take the white cap off and try to figure out wtf that is for.

 

its neither vtec or abs. a CX hatch nas neither. although, some cx's were pre-wired for vtec, but im not sure which ones. i think that is a diagnostic port for one of the car's systems. not sure though.

later

 

the plug i think would be the a/c condenser, evap, and the fan. i would say since the cx doen't come with a/c

 

It is used to connect your A/C Wiring Harness, when you decide to install A/C

 

Yep, just went and looked at my car. I took the AC out but the wiring is still there.

 

Toda Si, did you ever figure out how to re-do your distributor?

I found out a better way to explain it.

The 2 wires that need to be moved are the coil wires.

The OBD2 distributor has the coil wires all in the same plug as the other 4 wires, but your Civic's engine harness has a separate plug just for the coil wires.

Simply unhook the 2 coil wires (can't recall color:hammer and then hook them into the "extra" plug for them that your CX harness has on it.

Does that make sense?

BTW:

Just don't worry about that little white-capped plug...doesn't have any effect on the swap y0!

...Unless you need A/C.

 

Could it be a plug for city lights?

 

Thanks everyone, I figured out what the plug was for yo....

Gonna hook the neon lights up to it and bump with some hydralics boyz

On a more serious note: The rear engine mount bracket (GS-R)does not fit on my block(different bolt points)....my 99 Si bracket does fit but is about 1" short. Is the type R rear bracket different from the GS-R, as I have an ITR block?

Tom, yea, was easy to figure out, but I just hooked up the OBD-1 distributor.

I guess it's for air conditioning.
