Why do you say it has a B18B1 head on a A1 block? The bobby pin is used to pull the check engine light which leads me to my next question, is the CEL on? If your engine is OBD2A then the green/yellow wire is VTEC, green/black & white/ red should be your secondary O2 sensor, blue/white I belive is your VSS (is your tach or speedometer not working?)

I have a feeling NY state is not going to like your ride. Pics will help us. Wishing you good luck may be futile.
