wassup guys ive have search and search but i could not find anything on this but if there is a similar topic please let me know.. with that said i have a 1998 civic hx with a b16a2 swap i had bought the car like that, the previouse owner claims he did everything the right way he said he used the si engine harnes ect. stock b16 ecu now when i try to get it inspected the inspector said my obdII port dont work but i still manage to pass haha dont ask how i know people that knows people so after a week i decided to do a ignition timing adjust and when i try to short the ecu out with that connector the "check engine light" wont come on its not the bulb i checked. so what gives? is something not connected when the previouse owner did the swap? oh yea does the 98 hx comes with power side mirrors? i try to check why my side mirrors dont work so i pulled out the switch and every single wire is cut and i couldnt find the other end. i guess he just had it there for show haha funny people. so any idea?

 

Does the CEL turn on and then off after 2 seconds when the key is turned from OFF to ON(II)?

Are the 7.5A hood Back Up fuse and 7.5A hood fuse 43 blown?

 

the port wont work if he is runing a obd1 ecu using a obd1-obd2 conversion harness

 

You can't run an Si harness in a '96 - '98 Civic. If you do you will have several issues. Get a '96 - '98 EX or HX harness and modify it. Also if you have an OBD1 ECU or a JDM OBD2 ECU they wont communicate with a scan tool.

 

nope dosent turn on at all

 

kool i did not know that. i will deff look for an ex or hx harness and its runing on the stock si ecu i believe, i know theres no jumper harness though
