hey guys/gals, i have a totally hacked up wiring harness that has been working for the past year or so, but it my car started acting up the other day and now it wont turn on.

Im not sure if my problem is ECU or Wiring harness related (chipped p28).

Im not sure if I should order a new harness or new ECU or what. It feels like theres an exposed wire and its rubbing against something and shorting out, because when i did have it half-running it barely ran and broke down untill I played with the wires.

The last time I ordered a new harness it came with extra plugs so i didnt use it and i hacked the plugs i needed off of it, is it ok to use the plug if it has like 3 too many plugs? Also I tried using my spare JDM pr3 ecu with no luck (but im uncertain how reliable it is)

 

It is ot uncommon to have a wiring harness with mre plugs then you might need just don't hook them up

 

gonna pick up a new harness today

 

i swapped out the old harness and put in the new one in 30 minutes haha. what a pita, luckily i knew where most of those plugs go. anyways, car started up just fine when i was done, but now i got this weird code 22.

 

code 22 is for a vtec pressure switch problem test the switch and the connections to the switch.

make sure you didn't cross the vtec spool valve solenoid connection with the pressure switch connector.

 

yeah but VTEC works just fine untill i redline 2nd gear and that code pops up and vtec stops engaging. ill contact the guy that made the bin for my ECU maybe something's effed there...

tomorrow ill plug in my pr3 and see if i get that code... hmmm... goodnight
