does anyone have pictures of their Intake Manifold and how the vacuum lines are set to their IAB solenoid box?

I don't think mine are opening and closing and it's very annoying 'bogging' in low to mid range when I know there is more power there. I have the IAB's wired up (I swapped an h22 into a 93 civic ex), I have it ran to A17 and the other wire grounded at the battery.


Is there any way to test to see whether they are opening or closing at all?

Or if anyone has pictures of them, that'd be great.

TIA

 

not very hard to check....it should be closed with your car at idle....and with your car off it will be open. Look at the IM. and check it out....

I dont think that yours is the same as mine cuz I have OBD2. But I didnt think that the ground would go to the batt. It should go to one of the pins on the ECU (unless its positively switched) which would mean that it gives battery voltage to turn it on...and in that case you would have it hooked up right....

thanks man, I just was told and according to my knowledge, there is 2 wires to the IAB solenoid harness, one from the ECU (A17 pinout) and the other is ground.

I don't know where else i should ground it, probably directly to the car

 

The other might be a powered ground, yellow/black wire that goes to the ECU as well and not to a body ground.. Check it out and let me know what happens..

 

Jason, is your IAB's hooked up or what?

can someone please show pics of how theirs is hooked up

 

check this pic out of what the proper vac lines are run to make sure you have all the right connections.. mines arent working either so tomorrow morning im going to hunt down why they arent, same thing as you basically..

 

**** so what wires go to what?

I hooked up one of the wires to A17, and the other to what? I have mine to the body ground, is this where it should be, or should i tap it into another wire on the harness

 

you might not only need to connect to a ground or a power ground (black w/yellow wire coming from the ecu) but you may need to flip the wires..

 

i've done that as well, i have one of them going to A17, and one to the body ground, is this right? or do i need to tap any of it to any other wire?

 

dood, your repeating the same question. i just said that you need to connect to a gound, or a power ground, which is a black and yellow stripe wire coming from the ecu ... and of course flip the wires on the plug to make sure you have them connected right.

 

haha, my bad, i just realized that.

just at work kinda distracted. i'll do that tonight, thanks bro

 

I already said all of this. And chameleon did you put the engine in the hatch yet??

 

i will be starting work on it soon, LS turbo.. should be done within a week.. 5lug with white type R rims and type R interior.

 

So you got the car already?? And what you gonna do with your lude engine?

 

Brandon how many times have i told you! Your car is slow. Are you racing fong tonight?

 

i raced him last night

and beat him by a car and half, and he keeps sayin he has "shitty launch"

i hate people who can't admit things.

i still need the damn IAB's working and have a small vacuum leak in the THROTTLE BODY which is where i was getting that wavy idle.

 

If you just would have used the honda gasket and left it, all would have been fine. If you want re race, im down for being the flag girl.

 

yeah i got the car already, had it for 2 weeks.. weird having no power anything hehe.. and my lude engine im leaving in the accord, just turboing that too, hopefully to reach 450whp and the hatch i'll be good with 300whp

 

So now you keeping both cars?? I need to work where you working seriously..
Too bad they will both have to bow down the S-type. She is complete by the way.

 

the honda gasket was for a Prelude S which is an SOHC model

i went to AutoZone to get a new one for the 2.2L and it STILL didn't fit. So i used that with gasket sealant

 

otay.

 

get that **** working so i can hook mine up right, LOL

 

hehe im not working there no more, ive been job less for 3 weeks now, finally having my vacation!! so stop by any day i got all the free time! about bowing down i dunno ..so lets see the bish!!

 

Hey dude, have you checked your knock sensor J/K Anyway even though you didn't hit your goal tonight, it was still the fastest that your civic has ever made the 1320 and you should be proud, you just gotta remember that you beat a Trans Am and that makes it all worth it talk to ya later bro

 

don't ground that other wire....its supposed to be powered....i hooked mine up to the battery to test it and it worked fine...The A17 wire is the one that does the grounding...
