Default Help me wire a DPFI into a CRX Si, please, my head hurts.

Long story short, we swapped a B16 out of a 91 Si and into my DX (that not started yet buy w/e)

And the DX motor into the Si. I am having problems with the wiring. I got a good chunk of it done. It cranks and gets fuel, although i'm not sure if thats right either until i get rid of this other code.

After getting rid of 2 other code for sensors, i am getting code 15. Ingnition. Is it something with the wiring going to the distributor?

Any insight would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

So i've read an re-read all the DPFI to MPFI swap articles and tried to do some backwards steps.

If it's true that when you do a DPFI to MPFI swap, you need to swap two pins on the distributor harness, is is safe to say i need to do the same when doing the opposite swap??????

if your doing the swap you must use a obd0 si dizzy, and ecu. also the manifold as well. usually people get the two white wires at the dizzy backwards.

It's not my project anymore and i did not want to spend any more money. I did suggest that to my friend who's buying the car, but he said don't bother.

Well, it's all figured out now, anyways. Rywire helped me figure a few things out and i corrected a few mistakes i made the night before.

All runs well. I wonder how many others went MPFI to DPFI? I don't recommend it.

I have an hf chassis and i swapped in a dx motor. its a pain in the *** to wire


i to had problems wiring up things but with the "EFFIN guide" i was abl;e to figure out i believe everything.


I TOO AM GETTING CODE 15 and my engine keeps turning off because of it. i can drive it up and down the block but i can garauntee its going to shut off when under load or idleing for a while and i belive code 15 is why.

you mention something about switching wires up on the dizzy.

can you tell me what wires those would be. i appreciate all the help ive gotten so far and future help.
