well i had a mishap with my wiring harness, kind of a fire mishap! well some sensors got bbq'd up with a side of wires. well i might have my hands on a couple at the junk yard i just need to know if it matters if the cars a vtec or not. mine is so i dont want to get non vtec wires. i dont see why it would matter but i just want to be sure. thanks in advance and appreciate it.

 

List your year make model and trim

 

 

1994 honda civic ex vtec 1.6lt sohc.

 

it more matters OBD more so than vtec vs non-vtec. WHAT sensors are you in need of ?

 

forget the sensors i need a harness, or need help splicing vtec connections and TPS connector to a d15 non vtec harness. the vtec harness i have is completly F'd. also need a distrubutor and sparkplug wires. maybe ecu harness as well connections are melted together and wires are fried along with vaccum tubing.

 

Jesus H. Better figure out what happened first so you don't do it again when you replace the harness. Also, make sure you're not using the incorrect fuse amp ratings... that's often how this happens. There's going to be wires fried up and down that harness so there's a very good chance you'll have to replace a LOT of it. Like, entire engine and cabin harness.

 

uh no, cabin harness is fine and the whole engine bay harness needs a replace. maybe the ecu harness. distrubutor and spark plug wires gone. heres the story. had a towel over my engine to protect it from water and dirt debree, had my hood off gringing the support frame so i could hammer out some dents. sparks a flyin and landed on the towel probably burned through the towel and hit my fuel line on the fuel rail and bam towels in flames so i get the fire out and not much was damaged but temp sensor on intake mani, distributor, spark plug wires, throttle cable, injector wires and some vaccum lines so im a lucky SOB. probably a stupid one too.

 

Wow, you dodged a bullet there.

So, not an electrical fire, which is good. Some wiring is connected right through to the cabin harness, while some others are are a separate under-hood harness. This includes wiring coming from the driver's and passenger's side from inside the car. So, depending on what's fried will determine what you need to replace. Either way, if you need to replace stuff that's under the hood going directly in to the cabin, you can cut and splice.

I heard something once about distributor wiring needing to be the exact OEM length, so this one should always be one piece (no splicing).

 

i am one lucky MF thats for sure. but yea i got a non vtec harness wired up the vtec connections and waiting to get a dist. and spark plug wires. going to the junk yard to get an ecu connection and going to snip wires and connect because the inside of the plug got melted and will not come out.
