Default H swap electrical problem - main relay clicks without key in ignition

got my h swap finally runnnng, well I did. I was getting a code 22 vtec pressure switch, so I swap the wires on the switch. tried to start back up then blew the back up fuse. I swap the fuses and wires back. now when I connect the neg terminal, the main relay clicks continuosly. mind u the ignition is not on. I also routed some vacuum lines as the the same as my brothers car, same motor and car. check grounds and all are good. what could this be?

it sounds like you've got a short somewhere and your by passing the key ignition circuit. check your wiring, if your posi leg is shorted to the frame then you will get a circuit as soon as you connect the negy. looks like your going to have to get some wiring diagrams out and test terminals for correct polarity

Sounds like a nice setup, did you swap chassis harness or somthing? You are using the stock civic engine harness right?

nope..using stock harness, just extended wires. when I start it, it putts and there is a small squeal from the dizzy I think, cane pin point it. if no gas, it dies. moving so I have no computer and I threw out my manual printout. the wire color for the iacv is blu/ylw right?

Yes sir Blue and Yellow/Black I had the same problem and I had the dizzy wires all screwed up and the engine would start but i would have to keep giving it throttle to keep it running. I would recheck your dizzy wires because your ignition signial wires go to the dizzy also. if you get one wire wrong it can cause all sorts of problems for ya.
