Ok so i bought a 93 civic dx for a nice daily 2 weeks ago, and since then i installed a mini me swap. But i noticed that the check engine light does not come on at all when turning on the ingnition to light up all the dash lights... I switched bulbs and also clusters so the problem has to be somewhere else. Anyone have any guesses? could this be the ecu or a wiring problem??
Car runs fine but i need to know if im throwing any cells.

 

may i ask a stupid question? does the car even run?

 

The car runs or i wouldnt have asked the question, what i am asking is what can i look for to find out what the problem is. i want to make sure my new swap is not throwing any cells.
This is not a stupid question. Obviously something is causing the engine light to not come on.

 

I don't think builthatch meant any offence.

 

check wiring from ecu pin A13(check engine light) Blu/wht to the cluster.

Also, if it's got a chipped ecu, make sure the cel/mil is not disabled.

 

Thats the stuff i need! Will check and let you know. thanks!

 

i should have said may i ask a stupid question. your question was not the stupid one. sorry if i came off as a little brash.
i was asking if it ran because if the grounds on the t stat housing arent hooked up, your ecu may not power up thats all. i was not trying to be a smart ***.

 

what he said X2

 

check ur bulb in the cluster it might be busted or they took it out some people do that you know......

 

LOL its all good. Thats why i dont bash people on the internet, its easy for someone else to misunderstand what you mean sometimes. Anyways I found it that it was the ECU.
Someone that had the swap before me toasted the ecu. Guess im in the market for a p28.
Thanks guys

 

he's right on the dot probably
