if u r running a stock ecu, why r u running a relay? just run the wire straight from the ecu to the solenoid.

its not the stock its a hondata p07 i think thats the non vtec one..... its tuned with vtec because i hooked the vtec sol. up to the battery and a push button because I didnt want to waste time shooting it on the dyno....

as of my knowledge I thought the ECU is a bunch of grounds ??

sorry for the lack of info

any more help

you could use the 12v switched that runs the radio. I had mine wired like that but switched to a vtec ecu, much cleaner.

radio sounds like a good idea....im thinking it woudl just be easier to either send it in and get the vtec chipped or a new ecu
