Alright I just did a GSR swap in my 98 Civic LX. I am using the LX wiring harness and I built a separate harness for the vtec and knock sensor. My harness is OBD2a and the GSR distributor is OBD2b. My question is does anybody know where there is a write-up or a diagram or anything that can help me convert the dizzy to obd2a so i can run the 10 pronged plug so it will be plug and play for my LX wiring harness??? Any help would be highly appreciated!

Can anybody help. Its my DD.

 

Its the same plug. The only different OBD2B distributor plugs are on '99 - '00 Civics (except HX and Si models) All '96 - '01 Integras and '96 - '98 Civics used the same single large plug.

 

its not the same plug. its not a stock dizzy from the GSR. the guy i bought the swap from gave it to me. its a smaller plug than the obd2a "big plug".

 

 

Why not post a clear picture of the plug?

 

Theres a part number on the side of the distributor (where it bolts to the head), whats the number on yours? It should read something like: TD-81U, TD84U, TD86U, or TD-87U

 

because im in class. i will when i get out.

 

ill look at it when i get out and let yall know.

 

alright heres some pics. the top one is the dizzy plug witch is obd2b if im not mistaken and the bottom one is obd2a.



and this is the dizzy plug. it has a blue wire comming off of it that is shrinkwraped so it doesnt touch anything.



sorry for the shitty cellphone pics. any help would be highly appreciated!!

 

Yep thats an OBD2B plug all right, the lone wire with the shrink tubing is for the tach signal (OBD2B civics and integras get their tach signal from the ECU) You can actually swap the CYP/CKP/TDC sensors out of your D-series distributor if you still have that.

 

alright and that would make it obd2a? is there pictures somewhere or a write up so i can get a general idea?

 

Basically yes. The only thing that makes a B or D-series distributor OBD1, OBD2A or OBD2B is the physical plug(s) attached to the CYP/CKP/TDC sensors The sensors themselves are identical. Theres no guide on it (i had for a long time intended to create one but just never quite got around to it)

 

you should make one lol. well im gonna take them appart and check things out. ill post pics if i have questions.
