the car is a 91 crx si and it has a zc swap in it...

The car has a short somewhere in the engine harness so the seller says his battery will die out and his ecu will burn out eventually every good while that he has driven it, he says the alternator is good so what could this be?

he is throwing in another engine harness as well the car has a lost title and has a WW body kit doesnt look bad at all...

 

the trick involves using a test light, i work on car audio as my job and this is how its done to trace. disconnect the negative take the test light hook one end up to the - battery terminal and the other end to the - terminal wire. with a draw the light will come on. then you pull the fuses one by one and it will help you find out what circuit the draw is in. hope it helps

 

not a major problem,it fixable.

 

Don't waste your time with a test light. That is how a monkey would fix something; use a multi-meter so you can see if there is voltage and whether or not it is positive or negative voltage. As far as the missing title, check your states laws to see if it even requires a title.

 

This should be your main concern. Unless the car is track only, you should demand to get a title at the point of sale. Otherwise you are depending on the goodness of the seller's heart to do the work to get a new title AFTER the sale. Let's be honest. Most people won't be very dilligent in putting in the work for someone else.

Use your head and be careful, bro.

 

i agree with that guy ^^.. now a days people are rather shady

 

I don't know how it is in your state but down here in Texas you can get a bonded title for the same price as a regular title transfer.....

Not saying that's how he should go about it but its not that big of a deal. I buy a few cars a year with no title and get a bonded one.

 

well N3va3vaSatisfi3d, please feel free to tell him use it. since it`s the monkey way to do it. some people aint that bright

 

titles arnt to hard to get, just file for lost title at your court house. hopefully it will be clean tho

 

Its called a parasitic drew you test this by removing the negative battery cable and connecting a ammeter in serious with the battery. Once connected you disconnect susses until you find the one that drops the most amps. find fault in that circuit and fix.

P.S it is your financial decision if you buy this car do your homework before purchasing

 

This is the car just purchased it yesterday not all into these ricer flame but hey paid 6 bills for it has a zc swapp, had a bad alternator but the guy wasnt lieying when he told me he had warranty on like almost half of the stuff on the car so yeah it also came with a buddy club racing seat in good condition so i believe i got my moneys worth n hooked up

just really concerned about the title and im also in texas apreciate that info bro im gonna try n do that...

 

How do you go about doing this? I thought you had to get a surety bond which costs a percentage of the value of the car.

I purchased a crx a couple months ago but did not realize the title had already been dated a year and a half ago. When I went to transfer the title I found the penalty for being late would be over $300. I'd really like to get to title in my name for less than 500.

 

Put it back to stock.

 

as long as theres not a lean against the title your good to go.. looks like a great buy Get rid of all the ZC wiring and grab you a 96 + civic ex harness u can modify if you like messing with electrical or pick one up from already made By Rywire.com

 

Oh ****, you and I are in the same boat! I found out I'd have to pay almost $5 bills, and the car was only 1G.

I'm trying to get around this myself. Good info to follow though.

Good luck to the both of us.
