i jsut got me a vtec-e engine. and i need the engine harness. i know a EX would do.

but there is a sensor that is at the top left of the engine. by the vtec solenoid. does that only come on the vx harness? what is that sensor. will i be ok if i just use a ex harness and not plug in that sensor, or will i have to hard wire it?

just wondering basically if i need the vx harness or not. i also havwe the ECU.

 

I'm gonna take a wild guess that it may be the EGR? idk good luck with it

 

yess sir i blieve your right. thanks.

 

Yep, its for the EGR, theres also a box mounted to the firewall on VXs that you will need.

 

with vacum lines? i have it too.

 

anyone?

 

Yes.

If you're in California you will need to have the EGR functioning to pass emissions.

 

i can hook it up. i just need the propper harness then. will the car run right with just a ex harness? withouth the egr hooked up? i'm interested in hooking it up. can it be done seperately? is therea by any chance a write up hon how to run the wires for it. i doubht i'm gonna firnd a vx harness. i'm gonna end up with a ex harness.


any help is apreciated.

BTW that thing goes on the firewall has a plug and vacuum lines how does that hook up?

im confused.

 

It can be done seperately, theres no write up that I know of


any help is apreciated.

That wiring comes from the cabin harness. VX harnesses are altogether weird. I actually have a cabin harness (headlight plugs were cut off, previous owner hard wired HIDs) and a pretty thrashed VX engine harness (bunch of connectors are cut, most of it I can fix, I pulled the vtec wiring from it to turn a DX harness into an EX/Si harness) if you have any intrest i'd sell both quite cheaply, PM me if you're interested.

 

I'd be interested but your far. i home i can just find a VX harness. or i'll jsut go withthe ex harness for now.

will the still be good without the EGR?

 

Car will probably run ok, but you'll never pass california emissions without it.

 

will gas mileage be good still?

 

i'm gonna go with the ex harness. hopefully mileage is good?
