I hate to have to ask again but i have a d16y7 engine harness from a 2000 civic and my gauge cluster rpms and speed dnt work and neither does the scanner to scan obd2 works.i was told it was because the harness is for a 2000 not a 98,is this true?any help is greatly appreciated.thanks guys

 

You need to use a 96-98 harness in a 96-98 civic. 99-00 harness will not work in a 96-98 car.

 

Ok everything works but my gauge cluster and where u plug in the obd2 scanner.but ok thanks for the help

 

are you still using the 96-98 ECU with the 2000 harness? switch to a 99-2000 ECU

 

Where is the harness for the car?

 

You have to use a 96-98 harness for a 96-98 car. You can use a 99-00 ECU but will need a jumper harness.

 

if he is using the 2000 harness he must be using the 99-2000 ecu . . . ????

 

I was using a 2000 ECU with my 96 harness, they make jumpers that allow it. Regardless OP you need to get the harness for your year chassis.

 

No idea but it came with a y8 harness and a z6 engine.the engine is bad so I bought a y7 and the y7 engine harness from a 2000 as well as the ecu.then I was told yesterday that it works just not how it's suppose to cus it won't work the gauge cluster or the connection where u plug in the scanner.so that I need a y7 harness from a 96-98.so I just wanted to confirm what they told me.

So your saying use the y8 harness that came with it?or find the y7 harness for the year?

 

Are you purposefully being dense?

 

I'm sry I don't knw much like u do bro.im asking a question and if u don't wanna answer it or help that's ok.i have my car and I just need to get everything working so I can smog it to register it.and that's all the parts I have to work with.y8 harness,y7 from 00 harness,y7 engine in the car.2 z6 heads in my garage.so just trying to get one combination right.

 

I answered it about as simply as you can get and you still didn't understand. Oh well.

 

You can't use that harness if its 99-00
