Hi I'm new to this site. Ok here's the issue I just did a b16a2 swap in a 92 hatchback civic. I bought the motor in another civic ( 95 hatch ) the other owner was running a apex Vtec control with a p08 computer. Now I'm not installing the vtec control. And also running a p30. Ok so this is all odb1 wiring harness. Ok so swap is done and it's not starting! No spark no fuel! Both motor and car where running before the swap! Someone plz help I been stuck for a few days now testing fuses and what not. I don't really wanna send it in to get wired

 

Not starting or not cranking?
If not starting:
Getting fuel?
Getting spark?

 

no fuel or sparks!! ill go a little more detail. so this 92 hatch was my brothers and now i got it. his motor blew so he did a swap. put in a d16y8 ( his blown motor was a non vtec motor ) now i was told this b16 swap should be plug and play now because who ever did the the d16 swap should have ran the vtec wires. the only thing i have to run is the knock sensor. now the ecu my bro has is a chipped pr4. i got the p30. all the plugs are in the right spot and i also took the resister box out of my 95 and put it in this civic. now like i said i am stuck now and need any help i can get!!!


thanks

 

Does the check engine light come on for 2 secs and go out when turning to the position before crank?

 

yeah do you hear the fuel pump prime?

 

oh yeah she cranks thats all

 

no.... no prime

 

no it stays on

 

oh yea i got power going to pin 1 to my main relay, checked and change all blown fuses still nada

 

check 5 and 7

 

I did and changed them nothing still

 

I have a feeling you are either missing some grounds and/ or forgot to reconnect the harness properly.

 

I checked all grounds with the test light. They seem to be fine, now correct me if I'm wrong but the grounds I have are 1 from the head to body. 2 the one that is on the tranny. 3 is the one on the thermostat. Am I missing any? Now I'm using the harness that was on my b16. I don't know if this helps or matters that much but I am from Toronto Canada. My hatch model uis ucd.

 

Sorry did u mean pin 5 and 7? Cause if u did than no I don't got power to them. Mind you I been only using a test light.
