So heres the deal. I swapped a JDM B16A into my 96 Civic Hatch. I used the harness off the SI. For some reason my RPMs and MPHs aren't working. All other functions of the cluster work. COuld this be my VSS. I've check all the fuses under the dash and under the hood also. Some people are saying that they've had the same problem and all they did was swap the cluster from another car and it was fine. Any suggestions to what the problem might be. Thanks in advance

 

I know someone out there can help me.

 

Perhaps the gauge cluster is bad..

 

what year is the chassis?

 

96 dx civic

 

What year engine harness did you use?

 

2000 si

 

OBD2a v. OBD2b. I don't think that should make a difference. Recheck all wiring, especially by the dash! Was the car automatic before?

 

They shouldn't work together. A "B" harness only has 2 ecu plugs on the engine harness and the other is on the body harness i believe, while an "A" harness has all 3 ecu plugs on the engine harness

You're on the right page

I still don't understand how people can mix up A and B harnesses, don't they F'in see an extra plug or lack there of

So true, its probably really difficult to mix it up. all you have to do is plug and play.

 

And i believe that the Green plug on an "B" engine harness wont plug into a "A" car harness

 

And dare i ask what you did to make the distributor plug in?

 

Yeah the harness does have two plugs only. Car still runs but choppy and some amenities dont work. Gonna be getting jumper harness from A to B and buddy of mine is gonna wire whats missing in. IF that doesn't work then i'll just put my old harness and perform minor wiring and mods to it.

 

maybe stupid question.... Is the plug in your transmission hooked up? that happened to me, thats why I ask.

 

Yeah the speed spensor is hooked up. The issue is with the computer and wiring harness

 

You need to use your 96 wiringharness and run a 94 - 98 gsr ECU. That one plug that your missing is controling your rpm guage ECT, ECT.

 

you bought the wrong harness son... you have a obd2b harness which is 99-00 si.. all 99-00 si or 98-01 gsr uses a obd2b harness.. what kind of ecu do you have???
